Frequently asked questions
What is a motivator assessment?
It is a psychology-based assessment that makes visible the motivators — the intrinsic drives that give you energy when you take something on.MotiTune scores all 11 motivators and ranks them by how strongly each one drives you.
What can I use it for?
Beyond a job change or a career decision, it also helps you rediscover what makes your current work worthwhile, and understand the people closest to you.
- Changing jobs: know what actually matters to you — the self-analysis that keeps you from a mismatched move
- Job hunting: as the axis of your self-analysis
- Your current job: connect your motivators to the work in front of you and find meaning in it (job crafting)
- Relationships: compare with a partner or a colleague and head off the friction that comes from mismatched values
Why does knowing my own motivators matter?
Because even when your skills fit the work, results come hard and you burn out faster if your motivators — what actually energizes you — do not fit it.It gives you a basis for decisions: a job change, an internal move, or rethinking how you work.
How is this different from an aptitude or personality test?
An aptitude test measures what you can do and a personality test describes what you are like. MotiTune measures what energizes you — your intrinsic motivators, an entirely separate dimension from ability or personality.Motivators sit deep enough that neither you nor the people around you see them easily, yet they shape your work and your relationships. Differences in personality rarely cause friction at work; differences in motivators surface as clashes over how the work should be done, and those are the ones that strain relationships.
How reliable are the results?
MotiTune is built on Attuned's motivator analysis engine, in use at more than 100 major companies in Japan and abroad.That engine has over 120,000 analyses behind it in organizational use, and rests on the 11-motivator framework drawn from psychology research.
How long does the assessment take?
All 55 questions ask you to pick between two options on instinct, and the whole thing takes about 10 minutes.It works comfortably from a phone.
How do payment and refunds work?
It is a one-time payment with no subscription. Payment is by credit card only, and purchases are not refundable.The assessment link issued after payment is valid for 30 days — please complete the assessment before it expires.
Is my assessment data handled securely?
Your answers are stored encrypted and are never shared with a third party without your consent.
Will my results change over time?
Motivators can shift gradually with a job change, a promotion, or a new life stage.You can retake the assessment whenever you are curious (each retake is a separate purchase). Once a year is the pace we suggest.
