About the Motivation Test

The motivation test serves as a valuable instrument for recruiters to gauge a candidate's drive, ambition, and compatibility with the company’s objectives. It evaluates both intrinsic and extrinsic motivators that impact a candidate’s job performance and satisfaction. This test measures enthusiasm, commitment, and the willingness to embrace challenges, helping identify individuals passionate about their work who are likely to remain engaged and effective.

Often utilized during pre-employment screening, motivation tests offer dependable insights into a candidate's internal and external motivators, enabling recruiters to select those whose drives align with the organization's culture and goals.

The test addresses key themes such as intrinsic motivation (personal fulfillment and passion), extrinsic motivation (external incentives like pay and recognition), goal orientation, work engagement, and resilience.

Employing motivation tests in recruitment yields advantages like deeper understanding of candidate drivers, alignment with company values, and improved prediction of sustained engagement and productivity.
