I’ve been on the e-mail list for the Sojourners weekly newsletter for a number of years now. At various times this has been both challenging and useful in my walk. Today the newest edition came in and there was an interesting article by David Batstone who is the Executive Editor of the newsletter. In it he talks about the driving forces that motivate us both in our professional lives and in our lives outside of ‘work’. As a tool for this he has created a simple test called the TripleP Quiz that can be used to help you define which of the three main motivations that he has identified drives your own life.
I took it and the results can be seen below. It seems to be a fairly accurate description of me as well! It certainly doesn’t give you all the answers as it’s only 12 questions long, but maybe it’s worth giving it a go…
Here are your unique scores for each of the three dimensions:
|
|
 |
You are resolute in your desire to make a difference in the world through your work and visionary about finding real opportunities to do good in the world. |
|
|
 |
You do your best work when you feel in control of the choices you are making at work, but you don’t allow yourself to get too carried away with day-to-day projects. |
|
|
 |
Fair compensation for a day’s work is one of several priorities that you try to balance in your professional life. |
Actually I got 100% passion and 100% purpose so I went back and changed so that purpose would be smaller …
