The Epstein Motivation Competencies Inventory for Individuals (EMCI-i) looks at eight basic competencies people need to keep themselves motivated. The Epstein Motivation Competencies Inventory for Managers (EMCI-m) looks at ten basic competencies that managers, teachers, and other leaders need to motivate others.

In addition to the test instruments, Dr. Epstein has developed dozens of original games and exercises that help build motivational competencies.

A "mini" EMCI-i test (which does not give separate competency scores) can be taken online free of charge by clicking here. Abridged EMCI-i and EMCI-m tests (which do give competency scores) are available in Dr. Epstein's recent book, The Big Book of Motivation Games. The new, revised, unabridged version of the EMCI-i is available here. The manager's version of the test (the EMCI-m) is available here.

Dr. Epstein is available to give lectures on the competencies approach to motivation or, on a limited basis, to lead training seminars that teach the basic skills.
