Intrinsic Motivation Test

The Intrinsic motivation test is a powerful measure to help understand the internal motivators and drivers of an individual. It identifies an individual's ideal role from a motivational standpoint, it can be used to determine whether a specific role will give them that 'buzz' to work well.

Research and Resources

The Intrinsic^TM motivation test measures ten dimensions of intrinsic motivation which will profile any job

Intrinsic^TM helps predict how individuals will actually perform in the job - focusing on what they ‘will do’ rather than on what they ‘can do’

The Intrinsic^TM test of motivation can be tailored to a specific company or role

Intrinsic offers you an understanding as to how an individual will convert competency into performance: that is, what motivates them to actually 'do' something rather than simply have the capability to do something which ability tests assess. It does not measure 'extrinsic' motivation - drivers such as salary or bonuses as these can be assessed during an interview.

The Intrinsic motivation test is the updated version of the Motivational Styles Questionnaire (MSQ)
