Whereas Behaviors illustrate the HOW of our actions and decision-making, Motivators explain the WHY behind your actions and passions.
Motivators, based on Eduard Spranger’s theory of human motivation, are the windows through which an individual views the world. These intrinsic motiva tions explain the key driving forces about someone’s on-the-job performance and why they act a certain way.
TTI Success Insights’ assessments measuring Motivators examine the relative prominence of six basic interests (or Motivators; ways of valuing life) and include:
Theoretical — The discovery of truth
Utilitarian — Money and what is useful; ROI
Aesthetic — Form and harmony
Social — An inherent caring for people; helping others
Individualistic — Personal power, influence and renown
