I took a personality test regarding my motivation in the work place. As I discovered, I am as same as the Olympians in Beijing Olympics 2008.

Most Olympians in Beijing Olympics 2008 are highly dedicated individuals. But, what is it that motivates such dedication? Is it money, recognition, challenge, or personal growth?

As I discovered, I also have motivators like the Olympians of Beijing Olympics 2008. I also wanted to reach the top. In my current job, I would like more recognition for the work I do. When going for promotion, I would negation for inclusion in more teams. I would quit my job if it was a job that people looked down on.

I would perform my job better if I had greater feedback on my performances. My morale would suffer at work if my goals and objectives were not met, and communication channels were poor. Therefore, I prefer work that involves teamwork.

I would work overtime if there is a higher chance of promotion. The job situation that would cause the most stress for me is having conflict with my co-workers and not being appreciated for my work. I am satisfied in my work if I have flexible working conditions. I look forward to going to work each day because of the sense of personal growth I feel.

As I conclude, I am more of an achiever and relational employee. I have a high need for achievement and a high social need. I aim for clear feedback on my working performance and strive for cooperative situation. I enjoy to set challenging goals as I enjoy camaraderie and team spirit.

In addition, I have a little need for power and a little desire to be influential. I also have a little need for achieving self-fulfillment. I do not aim for positions that have lots of authority or to be in high status. I also do not aim for creative and challenging work, autonomy, and flexible working condition.

    I think it is a very good idea to self-assess one’s self. Staying open to how you can improve and get better everyday, is an essential key to making all your dreams come true – nice article!
