Noelle’s Motivational DNA Type is: PSI
(Production-Stability-Internal) The Director

Directors are strategic thinkers who have the ability to move projects forward. They have an eye for detail and energy for execution. Directors are practical and responsible. They are bottom-line people who like to get to the point. Directors are task-oriented and great problem solvers. They are good with schedules, systems and organization. They focus on achievement and value results. Directors excel in organizations that allow them some autonomy. They know that they bring value to their companies and they need to feel genuinely appreciated for their contributions. Directors are mission-minded and want their work to make a positive contribution.

LOVE THIS BREAK DOWN; so can help you when working with someone!

PSI Motivators: Freedom from constraints, ability to manage their own time, recognition, opportunity for personal growth, organized structure, receiving specific positive feedback.

PSI De-Motivators: Fuzzy goals, co-workers who don’t pull their own weight, “group think,” inability to manage their own time and find their own solutions.


1. Set goals that are both meaningful to you and challenging to achieve. Weak goals don’t inspire Directors

2. Your motivational type is energized by challenge. If you can, compete. Make sure you are competing for something that is important to you. For example, if you want to get in shape—train for a marathon benefiting your favorite charity.

3. Consistency and accountability will help you accomplish your goals. Craft a plan that provides a consistent routine and moves you daily toward your goal, then track the plan. Using tools like spreadsheets and calendars will help you be accountable and provide an impetus for action.

I took the test (also I have ordered the book)

My Results:

Lori’s Motivational DNA Type is: CSI
(Connection-Stability-Internal) The Supporter

Supporters are practical, dependable and loyal. They are both people-oriented and detail-oriented. Supportersare natural supervisors. They thrive on helping others excel in their positions and will fight for the underdog. Methodical in their methodology, they like to have the facts before they act. They respect authority and organizational structure. Caring and careful with people and projects, Supporters are skillful at implementing procedures. They possess a strong work ethic. Having a clearly defined goal to work toward is important to them and they follow through on objectives with steady conscientiousness. Psychological pay is of primary importance to them. They need to feel good about what they are doing and sense that their work makes a positive contribution.

CSI Motivators: Facts and information, peer respect, sincere appreciation, private recognition,specific positive feedback, an inspiring work environment, co-workers they enjoy, clearly defined objectives, a sense of accomplishment, and time to reflect and plan.

CSI De-Motivators: Hype and hyperbole,infringement on personal or family time,perceived inequity and demands for rapid change.


I personally found this to be true of me. I need to feel what I am doing has worth, money always has come second for me. I like things orderly. If given clear instruction I love to follow it out. I believe I do have a strong work ethic. I have to laugh at the "co-workers" they enjoy, because where I work I work by myself. Maybe that is why I am not that happy as an administrator to a Forester.

How about you, I think you will find the results telling.

So cool- thanks for posting this! It got me right on! That is why I know being a part of an Affliate like CWA will help me- it suggests being around supportive people to achieve my goals. And of course- I like creative ideas with lots of variety!

1. You are a people person, so the best way for you to achieve your objectives is to collaborate with a partner or group of people who share the same purpose. Find or create a support group that will cheer you on until you reach your goal.
2. Follow-through is a challenge for your motivational style. You must become accountable to your goal and do something each day, no matter how small, that moves you closer to your target.
3. Take some time to soul search and ask yourself why your goal is important. Write down those reasons and refer to them often. It is the “why,” not the “how,” that inspires your motivational type.

Awesome! Enjoyed reading your results.

Here's mine. Yet another reason I need supportive women in my life.
