Reiss School Motivation Profile

Discover What Drives You

University is more than choosing a course—it’s about understanding how you’re motivated, how you learn best, and what kind of future actually fits you.

What Is RSMP?

The Reiss School Motivation Profile

The Reiss School Motivation Profile (RSMP) is a scientifically validated assessment developed by Dr. Steven Reiss that reveals your 16 core motivations—the internal drivers that influence how you:

  • Learn and perform academically
  • Handle pressure, expectations, and independence
  • Make decisions about majors, internships, and careers
  • Stay motivated (or lose motivation) over time

Unlike personality tests or aptitude exams, RSMP uncovers the “why” behind your choices and behavior—giving you insight you can actually use.

Who Is It For?

Designed for Young Adults Aged 18–25

RSMP is designed for young adults aged 18–25 who are:

  • In university or preparing to enter one
  • Unsure about their course, major, or direction
  • Struggling with motivation, focus, or burnout
  • Planning internships, postgraduate studies, or first careers
  • Wanting clarity before making long-term decisions

If you’re asking “What’s right for me?”—RSMP helps you answer that with confidence.
