How to Use the Test:

Imagine you have $10,000

1. Fill in the first column of the test:

 Select one of the most important motivational factors for you. Let’s value it at $3,000
 Select from the remaining two most important motivational factors. Let’s value them at $2,000
 Select from the remaining another two most important factors. Let’s value them at $1,000
 And two more. Let’s value them at $500

You got 7 motivational factors that are ranked in dollars in the first column.

2. Fill in the second column of the test:

Opposite the ranked motivational factors, in the column “A” (achievability) put down numbers from 0
to 2 answering yourself the question:

- Can you get this motivational factor at your current job?

 2 — I can achieve
 1 — perhaps, I can achieve
 0 — I cannot achieve

The number of 2, 1 and 0 is not limited.

3. Fill in the third column of the test.

For the selected motivational factors, multiply the value of the first column ($$$) by the
value of the second one (A).

Add the values in the third column. You should get the total amount in dollars.

Interpretation
$15, 000 — you are in the green zone. Your work is inspiring, you see ways to self-fulfillment, you are
able to maintain the heat of the moment and are well motivated.

$10, 000-14, 000 — the yellow zone. You are motivated, you enjoy your work, but there is
definitely room for improvement. Pay attention, which motivational factors got 0 or 1
coefficients? Think of a way to implement them in your current company. And remember, you
can always consult with colleagues, friends or manager.

Less than $10, 000 — the red zone. Something needs to be changed. Consult with your
manager or HR on how to implement activities that are interesting to you.
