MOTIVATIONAL TRAITS
1.
MOTIVATIONAL 'DNA' - THE MOTIVATIONAL
TRAITS INDEX
Each person
has a physical 'DNA'. It is unlike anyone
else’s. It is a unique set of genetic
"markers" identified by their DNA. With some
tissue, saliva, hair or blood it can be
determined to a high degree of probability
whether it came from a specific person.
So, too, we
each have a motivational 'DNA'. It is at
the core of who we are. It is the
alignment and relative strength of our
motivational traits that identifies who we are, what we
do, and why.
The
Motivational 'DNA' of each person is explored in
the Personal Section of the assessment, the
Motivational Traits Index.
For each
person the list of traits is ranked. It is
listed in the order of importance for that
person. The ratings give a sense of their
intensity. No two people will have an
identical ranking with identical percentiles.
This represents the profound uniqueness of
each human being.
We believe
that motivation and preference are predictors of
behavior. It is out of our drives and desires,
our motivations, that our choices of
relationships, career, learning and
most other behaviors develop.

MOTIVATIONAL
TRAITS THEME
This is the first layer of themes presented by
the Reflections™ Assessment.
To find the theme of the Motivational Traits
Index, look for all of the traits which are
above the 70th percentile (level 1).
Then look at all of the traits which are below
the 30th percentile (level 5). What
comes to mind when you read the traits together,
in order? Did you try reading from the top down
to the 70th percentile? Does any
theme come to mind? Did you read from the
bottom up to the 30th? Does a theme
appear? Are the themes consistent? This is the
core theme of the person. Keep it in mind as
additional layers of themes unfold.
