Understanding the “Why” Behind Behavior. Overview
The Driving Forces assessment reveals the underlying motivations that drive an individual’s behavior and decision-making. It explores why people act the way they do, both at work and in life, providing deep insights into personal engagement, passion, and performance.
Key Emotional Competencies
The assessment is based on six core motivators, each expressed through a continuum of two opposing Driving Forces, totaling 12 distinct drivers:
- Knowledge: Instinctive ↔ Intellectual
- Utility: Selfless ↔ Resourceful
- Surroundings: Objective ↔ Harmonious
- Others: Intentional ↔ Altruistic
- Power: Collaborative ↔ Commanding
- Methodologies: Receptive ↔ Structured
These forces help uncover what fuels personal ambition and how individuals find meaning and purpose in their work.
