You are about to take the unabridged version of the
Epstein Motivation Competencies Inventory for Individuals (or
EMCI-i). Designed by
Dr. Robert Epstein, one of America's most distinguished psychologists, this scientifically-validated test is an inventory of 8 types of skills that help people keep themselves motivated.
Most people are able to complete the test in less than 10 minutes, and there are no right or wrong answers. Just select the response that seems best. After you answer the questions, you'll be given a detailed report that will give you your scores and explain what they mean. This is just the start; once you know your
EMCI scores, there are many avenues you might pursue to improve your motivation skills. Games and exercises to strengthen such skills can be found in Dr. Epstein's book,
The Big Book of Motivation Games, which also includes an abridged, self-scorable version of the
EMCI-i.
If you are a manager, teacher, parent, or supervisor, you might also want to take the
manager's version of the EMCI, which looks at 10 types of skills that will help you motivate other people.
