Inner Motivation Strength Test

Welcome to the Inner Motivation Strength Test

This tool is designed to uncover the core drivers that influence your decisions, energy, and persistence. Knowing your primary motivators is key to designing a life that feels inherently rewarding. It highlights the core internal drivers that shape your behavior, decisions, and pursuit of goals. It reveals the stability of your motivation and identifies where reinforcement is needed.

Your results will show:

  • What energizes you
  • What drains your passion
  • Whether your drive is stable or inconsistent
  • How aligned your motivations are with your purpose

Instructions

Be honest. Reflect on:

  • What pulls you forward naturally
  • What requires pressure or external push
  • How you respond when no one is watching
  • What goals excite you versus those that feel heavy

Answer based on patterns, not isolated moments. For each scenario, select the option that you find ‘most’ compelling or energizing. There are no right or wrong answers, only what is true for you.
