Getting started

What Core Motivations is

A quick orientation to the assessment, what you get, and how to begin.

The short version

Core Motivations is a free personality assessment. You answer a series of quick yes or no questions, and you get a personalized profile built around seven core motivations: the deep pattern of what drives you.

What you get

When you finish, your results rank all seven motivations and highlight your top three, which together form your unique profile. For your strongest motivations, a written report goes deeper. Your results are saved to your account, so you can return to them any time and see how they shift when you retake the assessment.

How to begin

  1. Create a free account.
  2. Take the assessment. It is a set of yes or no questions and takes about 10 minutes. Answer on instinct.
  3. Open your profile to explore your results.

The assessment surfaces your design. It is not a pass or fail test, and no result is a bad result. To learn what your motivations mean for you, open your report once you have taken the assessment.
