Key to the test

You get 1 point for the next selections listed in the key. The first digit before the dash means the line number, the second digit after the dash is the column number in which the desired word is. For example, 1/2 means that the word that scored 1 in the first row is in the second column. The word is "watchful". Other selections do not receive points.

Points are awarded for the following choices: 1/2; 2/1; 2/2; 3/1; 3/3; 4/3; 5/2; 6/3; 7/2; 7/3; 8/3; 9/1; 9/2; 10/2; 11/1; 11/2; 12/1; 12/3; 13/2; 13/3; 14/1; 15/1; 16/2; 16/3; 17/3; 18/1; 19/1; 19/2; 20/1; 20/2; 21/1; 22/1; 23/1; 23/3; 24/1; 24/2; 25/1; 26/2; 27/3; 28/1; 28/2; 29/1; 29/3; 30/2.

Interpretation of test results

The higher the score, the higher the level motivation to avoid failure, protection.

• from 2 to 10 points: low motivation to protect;
• from 11 to 16 points: average level of motivation to avoid failures;
• from 17 to 20 points: high level of motivation to avoid failures;
• over 20 points: very high level of motivation to avoid failure, protection.

People with a high level of protection, that is, a fear of accidents, are more likely to get into such trouble than those who have a high motivation for success. People who are afraid of failure (high level of protection) prefer small or, conversely, excessively large risks, where failure does not threaten prestige.

The setting for defensive behavior at work depends on three factors:

• the degree of perceived risk;
• prevailing motivation;
• experience of failure at work.

Two circumstances reinforce the installation for defensive behavior: first- when without risk it is possible to obtain the desired result; second when risky behavior leads to an accident. Achieving a safe result with risky behavior, on the contrary, weakens the defensive attitude, i.e., the motivation to avoid failures.

And for a more complete study of the motivation of the subject.

Result

The higher the score, the higher the level of motivation to avoid failures, protection.

From 2 to 10 points: low motivation to protect;

from 11 to 16 points: average level of motivation;

from 17 to 20 points: high level of motivation;

over 20 points: too high a level of motivation to avoid failure, protection.

Result analysis:

The result is analyzed together with the tests "Motivation for success" and "Readiness for risk".

D. McClemand's studies have shown that people with a high level of protection, that is, a fear of accidents, are more likely to get into such trouble than those who have a high motivation for success.

Studies have also shown that people who are afraid of failure (high level of protection) prefer small, or, conversely, excessively large risks, where failure does not threaten prestige. The German scientist F. Burkard argues that the setting for protective behavior at work depends on 3 factors:

The questionnaire is designed to diagnose the motivational orientation of the individual to achieve success.

The stimulus material consists of 41 statements, to which the subject must give one of 2 answers “yes” or “no”.

The degree of motivation for success is assessed by the number of points that match the key.

The result of the “Motivation to succeed” test should preferably be compared with the results of the “Motivation to avoid failure” test.

Key:
1 point is awarded for “yes” answers to the following questions: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 , 30, 32, 37, 41.

Also, 1 point is awarded for “no” answers to questions: 6, 19, 18, 20, 24, 31, 36, 38.39. Answers to questions 1.11, 12.19, 28, 33, 34, 35.40 are not taken into account. Next, the total score is calculated.

Result Analysis.
From 1 to 10 points: low motivation for success; from 11 to 16 points: average level of motivation; from 17 to 20 points: moderately high level of motivation; over 21 points: too high a level of motivation for success.

Research has shown that people who are moderately and highly success-oriented tend to take moderate risk. Those who are afraid of failure prefer a small or, conversely, too high a level of risk. The higher the person's motivation for success - achieving the goal, the lower the willingness to take risks. At the same time, the motivation for success also affects the hope for success: with a strong motivation for success, the hopes for success are usually more modest than with a weak motivation for success.

In addition, people who are motivated to succeed and have high hopes for it tend to avoid high risk.

Those who are highly motivated to succeed and have a high willingness to take risks have fewer accidents than those who have a high willingness to take risks but a high motivation to avoid failure (protection). Conversely, when a person has a high motivation to avoid failure (protection), then this prevents the motive for success - achieving the goal.

Personal questionnaire. Designed for diagnosing, highlighted by Heckhausen, the motivational orientation of the individual to avoid failures.

The stimulus material is a word list of 30 lines, 3 words per line. In each line, the subject needs to choose only one of the three words that most accurately characterizes him.

The test belongs to monoscale methods. The degree of motivation for success is assessed by the number of points that match the key.

The result of the “Motivation to avoid failure” test should be analyzed together with the results of such tests as “Motivation to succeed”, “Willingness to take risks”.

Instruction:

“You are given a list of words of 30 lines, 3 words per line. In each line, choose only one of the three words that most accurately characterizes you, and underline it.

Methodology Form:

Counting order:

The subject receives 1 point for the following choices given in the key. The first digit before the dash means the line number, the second digit after the dash is the column number in which the desired word is. For example, 1/2 means that the word that scored 1 in the first row is "vigilant" in the second column. Other answers of the subject do not receive points.

Result. The higher the score, the higher the level of motivation to avoid failures, protection. From 2 to 10 points: low motivation to protect; from 11 to 16 points: average level of motivation; from 17 to 20 points: high level of motivation; over 20 points: too high a level of motivation to avoid failure, protection.
