WELCOME
The Motivation Quotient is relatively new, though it is based on more than 20 years of research and development. Below, please find some common questions we have been asked about MQ.
Q & A
Q1: Have you heard of MQ? Has MQ been around for a long time?
A1: MQ is based on 25 years of motivational science development in the United States, leaning more towards the academic field, so not many people in Taiwan have heard of it.
Q2: Does MQ measure motivation? Why is it related to enthusiasm?
A2: To parents:
What is Passion?
It means you like it, have the motivation to do it, so "measuring motivation" is finding what you like, what you are enthusiastic about.
Example:
Why do many people want to go abroad during winter vacation?
Because they want to go out and play with family and friends, want to eat foreign cuisine, want to see beautiful scenery...
These "whys" are our "intrinsic motivation" to go out and play, which gives us "enthusiasm" for going abroad; then, in action, you will actively search for information online, learn a foreign language, and work to save travel expenses!
A2: To children:
What is Passion?
It means you like it, have the motivation to do it, so "measuring motivation" is finding what you like, what you are enthusiastic about.
Example:
Why do you want to learn Korean?
Because you want to attend a Blackpink concert, want to talk to idols, want to travel to Korea...
These "whys" are our "intrinsic motivation" to learn Korean, which gives us "enthusiasm" for learning Korean; then, in action, you will actively search for information online, learn Korean, and work to save travel expenses!
