measurement of measuring intrinsic motivation

Reiss Motivation Profile® is the first online psychometric tool that shows precisely what drives a person and influences their behaviour.

When it comes to decisions about choosing a profession, school or job change, it is better not to rely on intuition or the opinions of others, but on your strengths and natural predispositions. But is it possible? Yes, because RMP is probably the only tool in the world with such practical applications and a strong scientific basis.

What is the RMP study?

RMP is so effective because it is strongly based on scientific research. The result is learning about 16 unchangeable motivators (of different intensity for each person) that guide your internal motivation, and therefore your life. Therefore, the key to any effective change is to get to know the 16 needs that each of us has and learn to use them skillfully.

16 motivators that every person has

Here are 16 life motivators discovered by prof. Steven Reiss after many years of international research. Every person has these motivators, but their intensity is different for each person. Taking into account the number of possible combinations of motivators, there is probably no other person in the world with an identical motivational profile, i.e. the values ​​of these 16 life motivators, as you.

A short history of the Reiss Motivation Profile®

In 1998 Professor Steven Reiss, a recognised expert in psychiatry and clinic psychology from the Ohio University developed the RMP method. The main objective was to scientifically understand human motivation, that is, the intrinsic motivators which influence people’s thinking and behaviour.

Using contemporary theories of motivation psychology, Reiss selected 500 factors which influence motivation and goal attainment. His scientific team sent surveys to 25,000 people on four continents, asking them to specify their motivations.

After a few years of studies, computer assisted analyses of results and in-depth interviews, Professor Reiss’s team ended up with 16 motivators that are appropriate for the whole global population. Next, questions were developed to verify these needs/motivators as precisely as possible. This is how Reiss’s motivation profile was created. In 2014, we brought the RMP method to Poland.
