Economic
The motivation for return on investment, focusing on self-interest, personal and professional gain, and achieving extraordinary results.
Motivators Assessment
The Motivators Assessment helps individuals identify their key drivers of behavior. Understanding what motivates you can improve your personal and professional life. This assessment provides insights into your preferences and strengths and can guide you in making informed decisions and setting meaningful goals.
Understand your motivators
Motivation influences behavior, decisions, and actions. Finding ways to achieve objectives that resonate and align with core motivations is vital for superior performance. Those who better understand their natural motivators are far more likely to pursue the right opportunities for the right reasons and get the results they desire.
Measuring the core of motivation
Just as the DISC Assessment gives insight into how someone will behave, the
Motivators
Assessment explains why. Motivators are the reasons we want to act. They help
people better understand their value hierarchy or belief system. They filter and guide
decisions
specifically toward the results that reflect our motivators, and they combine uniquely for
each person
to influence priorities and decision-making. The Motivators Assessment provides insights
into our
viewpoint, our mindset, and our paradigm of thought.
Research shows successful people share a common trait of self-awareness and an awareness of
those around them. Through building a greater understanding of the motivator dimensions in
general, it becomes easier to see how they influence and guide behaviors to move people
forward or keep them still.
The 7 dimensions of motivation
The Motivators Assessment offers an in-depth identification and exploration of seven dimensions and how they uniquely combine to influence behavior, decisions, and actions:
- Aesthetic is a drive for balance, harmony, and form.
- Economic is a drive for return on investment (including time, money, and resources).
- Individualistic is a drive to stand out as independent and unique.
- Power is a drive to be in control or have influence.
- Altruistic is a drive to help others at the expense of self.
- Regulatory is a drive to establish order, routine, and structure.
- Theoretical is a drive for knowledge, learning, and understanding.

What motivates people?
Motivators are all about passion and satisfaction. Essentially, they are the reasons we do
anything – they drive our behaviors, decisions, and actions.
The Motivators Assessment highlights the individual impact of each of the seven motivators
on our choices. However, exploring the dimensions one by one is not enough; we must combine
them to
see how they influence one another and interact as a whole. The combination is the key to
understanding how motivators will likely drive passions and behavior.
Furthermore, if our motivators and behavior don’t always align, the assessment can reveal
areas of tension. This is useful in helping us to find the best way to satisfy our passions
and manage our energy through behavioral expression.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is understanding motivators important?
Understanding how motivators work and how they uniquely combine for each of us brings deeper
insight into our self-awareness and helps us to effectively connect with others. They help us
understand what is important to us and others.
As a self-awareness activity, examining how we are motivated helps us to make intentional
choices and work to align our behaviors and actions to get what we want. Awareness of what
motivates others helps us understand their behavior and actions.
Is it enough just to understand motivators?
While Motivators as a standalone tool is beneficial and insightful, additional information helps
us become more empowered and informed. In combination with other assessments, we can see how our
decision-making, learning preferences, behaviors, and emotions are influenced by what is most
important to us.
In combination with DISC, a practical understanding of our own motivations helps us to avoid
tricking ourselves into feeling that we lack motivation. We are all motivated, but we may lack
the drive to get what we want. With DISC and Motivators together, we
discover if we are behaving in a way that we value and that works.
Can Motivators be used to benchmark new hires?
Assessments can play a vital role in employee selection when used appropriately. The Assessments
24x7 Motivators Assessment meets EEOC standards for class protection and is
frequently used
as part of the selection process. See our Hiring and Selection page to learn more. We never recommend making a
hiring decision based only on assessment data, but when used
in combination with other factors (interviews, referrals, skills and experience, etc.),
assessments can bring insight to selection decisions.
Our DISC Executive Insights Report — integrating DISC, Motivators, and Critical Thinking (Hartman)
assessments — provides detailed insight into what will help a candidate be successful in their
new role or what might be required to support them.
How often should a Motivators Assessment be conducted?
Conducting the Motivators Assessment regularly can help maintain awareness of changing
motivations. It is beneficial to reassess every one to two years. This allows individuals to
track their growth and evolving drivers. Companies should encourage employees to revisit the
assessment to ensure alignment with current goals. Regular assessments support ongoing
development and satisfaction in the workplace.
For 20+ years, we have provided consultants, coaches, and corporations the tools to optimize hiring processes and maximize performance. Our validated assessments, flexible platform, and exceptional support have positioned us as a "Global Leader in Assessment Technology."
