7 Test Cafe Motivation Testing
We are often motivated to work (or to rebel against our work) by a number of
factors. While your desire to help others or engage in a creative endeavor may be
important to you, they may not motivate you as strongly as your need for stability
and desire for a comfortable lifestyle. Consider your results with an open mind - you
may learn something important about yourself that can guide your next career
move.
Your weakest motivator is a common motivational factor that you pay no heed. It is
important to realize your weakest motivator, as jobs that focus on this factor will
likely be ill-suited to your personality - for instance, if your weakest motivator is
Philanthropy, you will probably not enjoy working at a non-profit organization, since
you will gain little from their primary motivator and will have little in common with
other employees.
Your strongest motivator is what you should consider first when looking at any job or
career path. If you are motivated by Creativity, a desk job will only make you
unhappy, while if Family is your key motivator, you should not consider a job that
requires 14 hour days. When pondering a career path, your motivators will lead you
to a happy and healthy life, while succumbing to outside "obligations" can often lead
to unhappiness.
