THE MAUVE INSTITUT LECTURE AT PEC UNIVERSITYCHANDIGARH (SEPT 2019) In the first week of September 2019, The Mauve Institut for Training and Development had the honour to be invited to the Industry Expert Week of the PEC University, Chandigarh. Bea Renninger, Managing Director of The Mauve Institut had the pleasure of introducing the Reiss Motivation Profile to a rapt audience of professors and students of the PEC University. WHAT IS THE REISS MOTIVATION PROFILE? The Reiss Motivation Profileis a personality tool scientifically researched by Prof Steven Reiss Phd. It measures, explains and visualises the intrinsic motivation of a person in a graphic. The test is taken with an online questionnaire of 128 questions. The feedback happens with a one-on-one feedback session online or personal meeting. THE LECTURE AT PEC UNIVERSITY Beas lecture focused on introducing the Reiss Motivation Profile to students, and highlighted how beneficial it can be. WHAT ARE YOUR MOTIVES FOR ACHIEVEMENT AS A STUDENT? As a student you want to achieve the best possible degree. If you know what your motives are, it is easier to learn and to take courses correctly. If you are already enrolled at a university as a student, the selection for the main subject of your studies has often already been made. If the decision for a course of studies has not been made yet, the RMP can be consulted for this decision, to help get to know yourself better. HOW DO YOU WORK BEST? Each of the 16 Basic Desires of the Reiss Motivation Profile gives you information about your respective learning type. The better you know yourself, the better you can adjust to yourself and your learning type and thereby give your best and reach your degree more successfully. Are you the type of person who can find the way to the goal on your own, or is the way to the goal easier if you have intermediate goals set, or someone gives you the way. In the RMP This can be seen, in the expression of the Basic Desire, Power. If you find it easy or difficult to structure your learning load, the basic desire Order gives you information. If you are a loner or a team player, it is better to learn alone or in learning groups. If you are more of a practitioner or theorist - here the Basic Desire Curiosity tells you about yourself. BALANCING WORK AND PLAY In order to be good at studies, it is also important to spend your free time well, to have a more balanced and happier life. If the Basic Desire Physical Activity is highly pronounced, you should ensure you include physical sport in your days, despite the learning workload because it will only be then that your learning will work better and success is more likely. SOCIAL CONTACT AS A MOTIVE Similarly, if the Basic Desire Social Contact is highly pronounced, social contacts are very important to you and drive you positively. In this situation, a shared apartment is a good place to live, and you would feel less lonely. If this Basic Desire is low pronounced, then perhaps your own apartment would fit you better, because then retreating into your own space, with less social contacts is possible and you can concentrate and recover better from stress. MOVING FORWARD AFTER YOUR COURSE IS FINISHED Let's say you are now done with your course, and want to look at applying for a job. Job satisfaction is a very important component of a successful career. With the help of the Reiss Motivation Profile, you can get to know yourself well. You can decide more clearly which position you want to apply for, and prepare yourself better for a job interview. Before you apply for a job, you can also use the RMP to become more aware of what kind of job suits you best and which requirements are important for you as an employee. With knowledge about your strengths and weaknesses in hand, you can answer questions with confidence and appear more authentic. THE RMP AS A TOOL TO UNDERSTANDING YOURSELF BETTER It is important that in the end, the combination of the individual Basic Desires or life motives has to be considered to understand your overall personality and what intrinsically motivates your happiness and success. A trained Reiss Motivation Profile Master helps you to evaluate and understand the Reiss Motivation Profile. It is important to know that there is no right or wrong, good or bad in the RMP. As the personal fingerprint of one's own intrinsic motivation and therefore also the personal fingerprint of one's own life, the RMP helps one to understand oneself and others better. The beauty of The Reiss Motivation Profile is that it does not change over the course of your life, so it is enough to do it only once, you can use it throughout your life, in all situations and thus, be satisfied, happy and successful in managing all aspects of your life.
