What Motivates you?

I found this quiz very interesting... Motivation is the force that draws you to move toward something. It can come from a desire or a curiosity within you or can be from an external force urging you on. In either case, you make the decision to seize or to skip a chance to learn. Motivation styles vary for different situations and topics but nonetheless, you draw on them all the time, especially when you try to learn something challenging. If you can recognize your predominant motivational style you can identify the situations that best satisfy your needs.  
Take a few minutes to complete the following questionnaire assessing your motivation style. These questions have no right or wrong answers. Your response offers insight about how you're motivated. Begin by reading the words in the left-hand column. Of the three responses to the right, circle the one that best characterizes you, answering as honestly as possible with the description that applies to you now. Count the number of circled items and write your total at the bottom of each column. (click on the image to magnify)

The column with the highest total represents your primary motivation style. The column with the second-highest total is your secondary motivation style.
Your primary motivation style: ____________________________
Your secondary motivation style: ____________________________


If you are goal-oriented, you probably reach for your goals through a direct and obvious route. This might lead you to a reference book, your computer, or to call an expert—whatever means is available. You usually prefer meeting in-person when it's the most effective method and don't find learning, itself, much fun.
If you are relationship-oriented, you take part in learning mainly for social contact. When you meet and interact with people, you learn things along the way. You may not like working independently or focusing on topics (separately from the people) because that doesn't give you the interactivity you crave.
If you are learning-oriented, the practice of learning, itself, drives you. You search for knowledge because learning delights you and you may become frustrated by anything that requires you to spend more time following procedures than on actual learning.
I believe there is a fourth motivation style, because it's something that drives me everyday. That style is competition!! This isn't to say that I can't be motivated by goals, relationships, or curiosity, quite the contrary... by being competitive I think I am driven by all 3. My goal is to win, competition has to be social and interactive and it is driven by learning. 

I start today highly motivated as BrandHealth has it's annual Unplugged day filled with competition!!! GO TEAM A!!! I will fill you in on the outcome tomorrow. Woohoo!
