Info on what results mean in spoiler
- Spoiler:
- [MOTIV Info]
Materialistic vs Ascetic
This trait measures your investment in Social validation
Materialistic - oriented towards wanting to be attractive and impressive to others. Often externally narcissistic, seeking to be whatever the external world deems best. The Materialist values beauty, attractiveness foremost. They are more likely to be into fashion, fancy things (cars, houses, etc.).
Ascetic - shuns the material world, external ideals, public opinion, and the need to find validation in their social rank/status, physical beauty. They are thus internally narcissistic, only caring about what they think is valuable. They tend to want to live apart from society, outside of it, in the metaphorical or actual wilderness.
Offbeat vs Conventional
This trait measures your preference for New Ways vs Old Ways
Offbeat - seeks to live on the vanguard of existence, to step into the unknown. What is the point of living a life that has already been lived before is the ethos of the Offbeat individual, to sacrifice who you were, are, to become something new, different.
Conventional - more likely to fear change and sometimes even desires an older more simple existence. Some conventions have their place and you can't constantly reinvent better ways to do things at every moment.
Thinking vs Haphazard
This trait measures Executive function development
Thinking - prime motivation is to have a planned out life, to know where they are headed. Essentially, they desire predictability, security, certainty, order. It is not enough to understand that something feels good or that something works, the Thinker needs a more rational understanding so they can achieve reliable results in life.
Haphazard - shuns or finds it difficult to be structured and orderly, to make and follow long term plans. Consequently, they tend to live a more unplanned, meandering life, relying more on chance. This makes them less stiff, less rigid than thinkers can be (at their worst). But it also makes them basically stuck in the mental development of a child.
Interpersonal vs Withholding
This trait measures whether you are Othercentric or Selfcentric
Interpersonal - are more about others than themselves and would rather hurt them-self than hurt another person. They don't help others to get something back, they help others because they are more wired to the needs of others than their own needs. They feel the hunger, pain, happiness in someone else more than in themself.
Withholding - more disagreeable/unaccommodating/selfish than most people. An extreme Withholding preference is one aspect of all sociopaths of the world. Withholding types lack empathy towards others, which means they are more likely to be ignorant or inconsiderate of the welfare of others.
Vital vs Depressive
This trait measures your Mental/Physical Health
Vital - content, positive, high energy, life enjoying, optimistic, strong will to live, self motivated. Vitals believe happiness is something you have control over.
Depressive - identity confusion, poor motivation, feel they have no control over life, feel unable to change their circumstances, feel broken, feel that being optimistic leads to disappointment, self destructive, have a defeatist outlook on life.
Easygoing vs Rigid
This trait measures your preference for Relaxation
Easygoing - compelled to relax, take it easy, does not get worked up about most things. Prefers peacefulness and leisure, does not like conflict.
Rigid - does not enjoy or is incapable of enjoying taking it easy.
Sectarian vs Globalistic
This trait measures your preference for Social Organization
Sectarian - believes in putting their tribe/culture/nation first, weary of outsiders, prefers homogeneity to diversity, favors strong leaders, more likely to be authoritarian, thinks multi culturalism is dangerous
Globalistic - cosmopolitan, tolerant of diversity, believes the welfare of everyone is important (not just one's group), more likely to be politically liberal
