Have you ever been called strange, weird, odd, quirky, kooky, hard to read, or eccentric? Do you often feel like an outcast, outsider, or misunderstood by most other people? Have you ever been rejected for having very different values? Do you find it hard to fit in? Do you feel different from most everyone else? The good news is we are all different. The bad news is we have no idea how different we are until now, thanks to the Science of Motivation®.

What if it is NORMAL to be abnormal? Once you understand how statistically different what matters most to you is compared to most other people, you can help them know the real you and form stronger relationships. All you need to begin is your Reiss Motivation Profile®. Your RMP will help you normalize your differences. You will know how your passions, values, needs, and heart’s desires compare to most other people. Are you ready to increase your motivational intelligence?

What motivates you?

Why do you do what you do?

What matters most to you?

A recent Harvard Business School study reported that 90% of workers would accept a more meaningful role that pays less than their current job. 20% of US workers believe their work is meaningless, according to a YouGov poll.

Today’s most frequent and potentially life-altering question is, “Why am I doing this?” Sadly, most of us do not understand the individual values guidance system we each use to create motivation and meaning. Most of us don’t know what we want and why we do what we do. We waste years in frustrating trials and errors only to come up wanting.

I use The Science of Motivation®️to help people gain clear insight and understanding of their values, needs, motives, and heart’s desires. Once you clearly understand what drives and satisfies you, you can pursue meaningful work and well-being.

The Reiss Motivation Profile® (RMP) is a scientifically validated psychological assessment that answers these questions and more. We can rapidly increase your motivational intelligence using RMP profiles so you can understand your needs, interests, motives, values, and life goals. The RMP for Business is used globally in executive and personal development, team building, interpersonal conflict resolution, role compatibility, succession planning, and personal growth.

Andy Dix, a Reiss Motivation Profile® Master, was personally trained and certified by the profile’s creator, Professor Steven Reiss, Ph.D.  Andy has personally helped over 1,700 professionals clarify their needs and values using the RMP.  Motivationally intelligent executives can form more effective, mutually beneficial trust-based alliances and relationships with their board of directors, employees, vendors, and friends and family. You can learn to use the Science of Motivation® to create motivation-friendly work environments where people can perform and thrive.

Humans are not born with an owner’s manual. Fortunately, we can use the RMP to understand what we need to succeed in work and life. The Reiss Motivation Profile® embraces individuality and describes the true you.  Unlike other personality products, the RMP does not force someone into a psychological stereotype.  Each Reiss Motivation Profile® reflects a direct match of an individual’s needs and values’ intensity and priority. 

The profile gets to the heart of the matter and identifies what each person most values and needs. Your RMP scores reflect both your prioritization of the 16 basic heart’s desires and compare your intensity of each desire to a normative group. Your values and passions’ relative intensity is critical information to understand your empathetic blind spots in relating to others and help others understand your motives that make up your personality.
