Motivation and Values Test: what drives you and guides your choices
63 questions·10 min·5 dimensions and a separate readiness-to-change module·up to 14 clinical frameworks·6 report sections
Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test looks at what drives you, through four supports: how much of what you do comes from real interest rather than obligation, the distance between what you care about and how your days are spent, the meaning you find in your activity, and the energy put into what you undertake. The report situates not the level reached but the gap, and the place where it widens.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

QUICK ANSWER
Motivation and Values Test: what drives you and guides your choices — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test looks at what drives you: how much comes from real interest, the gap between what you value and how your days are spent, meaning, energy. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 14 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This test looks at what drives you: you can be efficient and empty, just as you can be tired and fully engaged — alignment makes the difference, not the effort spent. The questionnaire separates what moves you for the sake of the activity itself from what you do to avoid a consequence, then sets your declared values against the real use of your time. It also looks at the usefulness you grant your work and your capacity to keep going over the long run. Openness to change is added to these: five dimensions in all. The gap it reveals often points to a local negotiation — a task to hand back, a responsibility to ask for, a Sunday to reclaim. The report suggests where to start.
About this test
▼
Dimensions assessed
- ●Your reading of this motivation- The way you explain what weighs on your motivation, before the test tells you anything. This section measures no difficulty and produces no level: it gathers a starting reading, because you don't work the same way depending on whether you point to a mismatch with your values, external constraints, difficulty following through over time, or whether you can't pin down a single cause.
- ●Intrinsic Motivation- Inner drive that pushes you to act out of pleasure, curiosity, and personal interest rather than obligation.
- ●Values Alignment- Degree of consistency between your deep values and your daily life choices.
- ●Meaning in Work- Sense of purpose and contribution you derive from your professional activity.
- ●Overall Engagement- Level of emotional and behavioral investment in your different areas of life.
- ●Readiness to Change- Measures your current readiness to acknowledge the impact of this topic on your life and engage in a process of growth.

The report situates not the level reached but the gap, and the place where it widens.
The questionnaire explores 5 areas: Your reading of this motivation, Intrinsic Motivation, Values Alignment, Meaning in Work, Overall Engagement. Your answers support reflection, not a diagnosis. A separate module explores readiness to change; it is not another trait of the model presented.
