Where Motivators Fit In Professional Development

Passion gives you direction. Behaviors show you how you operate. Motivators reveal what keeps your fire burning. They answer the question: Why do you do what you do? By uncovering your unique blend of values, whether it’s achievement, altruism, creativity, or power, you gain clarity on the environments and roles where you’ll feel fully engaged. Motivators ensure you’re not just working hard, but working for reasons that truly matter to you.

Motivators (Values & Drivers)

Align daily work with core values to stay energized and motivated

The Motivators assessment uncovers the “why” behind your actions; the values and passions that fuel your decisions, priorities, and energy.

＞ Discover what truly drives you at work and in life

＞ Align your goals with your core values for lasting motivation

＞Improve engagement by connecting passion to purpose

Know what drives you


Motivation shapes your choices, your actions, and your results. When your goals line up with your core drivers, performance improves and work feels meaningful. People who understand their motivators choose better opportunities for the right reasons and achieve the outcomes they want.

Understanding what motivates you

DISC helps you see how you tend to act. A Motivators assessment explains why. Motivators are the reasons you want to act in the first place. They reflect your values and beliefs, and they shape what you notice, what you choose, and how you set priorities. Your mix is unique, which is why two people can behave the same way for very different reasons. The assessment gives you a clear picture of your viewpoint and mindset so your choices line up with what you care about most.

Research is clear that successful people know themselves and understand others. When you learn the main motivator dimensions, you start to see how they push behavior forward or keep it stuck. That awareness makes it easier to choose work, habits, and goals that fit you.

The seven motivators

The Motivators Assessment maps seven core drives and how your unique mix guides choices and actions.

  • Aesthetic: You seek balance, harmony, and form.

  • Economic: You focus on results and return on time, money, and resources.

  • Individualistic: You want independence and a chance to stand out.

  • Power: You aim to influence decisions and outcomes.

  • Altruistic: You feel pulled to help others, even at personal cost.

  • Regulatory: You prefer order, routine, and clear structure.

  • Theoretical: You pursue knowledge, learning, and understanding.

Most people show several at once. Knowing your pattern helps you choose work and habits that fit.

Aesthetic
The strong desire and need to achieve equilibrium between the world around us and ourselves.
Economic
The motivation for return on investment focusing on self-interest, personal and professional gain, and achieving extraordinary results.
Individualistic
The need to be seen as autonomous, unique, and independent, and to stand apart from the crowd.
Power
The need to be seen as a leader, while having influence and control over one's success.
Altruistic
The expression of the need or energy to benefit others at the expense of self.
Regulatory
The need to establish order, routine, and structure. This motivation is to promote a black-and-white mindset.

What motivates people

Motivators are about what feels meaningful and satisfying. They are the “why” behind your choices and actions.

The Motivators Assessment shows how each of the seven drivers affects you, and the real insight comes from your unique mix. Looking at how your drivers combine explains what energizes you, what you notice first, and how you tend to act.

Sometimes your motivators and your behavior do not line up. That is when work feels draining or stuck. The assessment helps you spot those tension points and find practical ways to meet your core drivers while managing your energy day to day.
