why choose intrinsic™
1. Intrinsic™ assesses what makes people tick in order to determine what will give them ‘the buzz’ in the work situation
Intrinsic™ focuses exclusively on intrinsic motivation in order to explain what drives individuals to perform. In comparison, other instruments have an extrinsic perspective which means that they focus on what you need to give people to get them to work harder.
2. Intrinsic™ has a scientific basis
It assesses the fundamental dimensions of intrinsic motivation relating directly to the theory via a statistical process which reveals the underlying structure of identifying with the nature of the task and encountering appropriate challenge (the two key elements of intrinsic motivation).
3. All job descriptions can be set out under Intrinsic™’s ten scale headings
Intrinsic™’s coherent framework makes it possible to relate each of the ten scales to a particular type of job or way of working, as established by validation research.
4. Intrinsic™ determines your ideal role and how this matches up with real-life situations
The two parts of Intrinsic™ represent what you want to do and how you want to do it.
5. Intrinsic™ measures the will do, rather than the can do, adding value to your current psychometric package
Each scale of Intrinsic™ has broad ranging implications to include everything to do with that particular area of the job. Therefore, the instrument assesses the basics of what you need to know about the individual in terms of motivational needs and goals, to ensure competence is converted into actual performance.
