What is The 6 Motivators Assessment?
Sample 6 Motivators assessment results
The 6 Motivators assessment asks: What drives you?
The 6 Motivators is a single-science assessment that measures what drives you to fulfill your passion or purpose. It measures your high points, or affinities, in six areas.
A motivator is a cluster of beliefs that share a similar underlying pattern or idea, which you believe is fundamentally important. Our primary motivators help determine what gives us joy, happiness, energy, and purpose – at work and in life. Motivators drive our behavioral (DISC) style – they are the “why” behind our behaviors. Behaviors are easily observable, while motivators are not.
What it can do for you:
Motivators are compelling and affect our actions, often without us even realizing it. They give us insights into our passion and purpose that are otherwise difficult to put into words.
