Motivation Test

Take this motivational test to determine in a couple of minutes what drives you, or the people that work for you, or even those in your family.  If you have ever taken the Myers-Briggs personality test it is time consuming, and really requires interpretation by an expert. That is not the case with this test.  It was developed by Tamara Lowe who puts on the very popular Success Seminars in cities throughout the country, with her husband Peter Lowe.  She recently hosted one here  in San Jose.  This test is featured in her newly released book Get Motivated!

I will not hire anyone again without having them take this so I can have a impartial party tell me the strengths of the individual.  People can do a great job interviewing - this is a second opinion a little insurance policy. Some people are motivated by money,  other flexibility, still others want to freedom to manage their own projects, some value time off.  It is important to understand what motivates people if you manage teams, work mates, family members etc.  I found it interesting and informative, I hope you do also.
