Trumotivate Assessment
This assessment helps students discover their Top-5 core motivations by analyzing their stories and the achievements they found to be meaningful. By identifying their Top-5 motivations, students can more deeply understand their unique contributions to the world. The results provide clarity about fields of study they might pursue in college and possible jobs that best fit them. For more information about taking the assessment individually please email us at yli@apu.edu.
