boss for a promotion .Beware of being seen as too pushy.
5-7 As: You are not constantly hungry to achieve something, but are motivated enough to do a
good job Whatever you are doing .You tend to work out solutions to the obstacles you face
without relying on others help. You must learn not to expect everyone else to be as motivated
as you, or you will be irritated by the forces driven.

2-4 As: Your motivation levels are around the average mark. You are motivated from time to
time when you are doing something of genuine interest to you. You must remember that the
truly motivation can develop an interest in whatever it takes to succeed. Do not rely so much
on a problem or subject intriguing you to start with before you get going on it.

0-2 As: Your motivation levels are very low. Perhaps you have experienced setbacks in the
recent past, which would have now sapped your confidence .Remember, whether you
ultimately succeed at a given job is not determined by your defeats, but instead by your
response to them
