The Reiss Motivation Profile® (RMP) is a scientifically valid (17 peer-reviewed articles), standardized assessment of what motivates any person over the age of 12.
Steven Reiss made an extensive research with 80000 people who come from all continents. The results of this large-scale, cross-cultural, scientific research identified 16 psychological needs or "basic desires"
Most commonly used concepts of human motivation have not been based on scientifically valid surveys. The Reiss Motivation Profile is the first empirically derived, standardized assessment of human needs.
35 years of research shows that all motivations arise from the pursuit of intrinsically valued goals, and further, that extrinsic motivation does not exist.
