YOUR MOTIVATIONAL DISTORTION

Your Motivational Distortion Score: 9
You were probably not motivated to make yourself appear better or worse.

This scale basically looks for any motivational distortion. If you scored 16 or higher, you were probably motivated for some reason to make yourself appear worse than you actually are. If you scored 7 or below, however, you were probably motivated to make yourself appear better than you actually are. A person who wants to appear in a good light (for instance, the leader of a group), could understandably be scoring 7 or below. The individual will have to evaluate himself/herself whether he/she may have been subtly motivated to score well.
