“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.”

- Vince Lombardi

Motivation to PERFORM - - - - ACHIEVE - - - - SUCCEED

The real key to success in any endeavor is motivation. Research has shown that what motivates people is complex, highly individual, and closely related to personality. Consequently, generic approaches to increasing motivation do not work. The problem until recently is that it was difficult to find reliable, scientifically-sound ways for people to understand their own motivation.

The Reiss Motivation Profiles®, developed by Dr. Steven Reiss, Emeritus Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at Ohio State University, and published by IDS Publishing Corporation, are a state-of-the-art system of scientifically validated assessments aimed at helping people better understand their personality and motivation. Based on 15 basic strivings or drives that make people individuals and determine their psychological needs, the profiles provide individuals with a clear understanding of what motivates them. The profiles provide comprehensive descriptions of these drives along with suggestions regarding how individuals can utilize them to build motivation and increase the likelihood of success.

The Reiss Motivation Profiles® have been used with great success in Europe and are now available in the United States. Achieve-Tec is proud to be the exclusive home of two versions of the Reiss Motivation Profiles®, the Reiss Health Motivation Profile and the Reiss Sports Motivation Profile. The assessment only takes about 10-15 minutes to complete and results are sent by email almost immediately.

If you are an individual seeking to improve your health, increase fitness, or lose weight, or are an athlete attempting to maximize your potential and perform at the highest level, you can take the profile yourself and learn what drives you to succeed.

The RHMP and RSMP are also valuable tools for professionals who work in health and/or sports to use with their clients. Physicians, psychologists, social workers, nurses, dieticians, wellness coaches, personal trainers, and coaches can have clients take the profile, have the results sent to themselves, and then work with clients over time to help them gain understanding of what motivates them and how to achieve success.

Qualified professionals with advanced degrees (physicians, psychologists, social workers, nurses, dieticians, etc.) are able to purchase multiple sports and health motivation profiles at a reduced rate to use with their clients. Those purchasing for the first time must complete the Qualification Form. Various forms of training on using the Reiss Motivation Profiles® are available for those who would like to develop expertise in using the profiles to help their clients succeed.

People who work in health and/or sports who do not have a professional degree are able to use the Reiss Motivation Profiles® with their clients by becoming a Reiss Profile Master for Sports and Health. Several options for training are available to become a Reiss Profile Master  .
