SportDNA Test-Retest Reliability Study

Awards and public recognition are powerful motivators for me.

When learning a new skill, I prefer to follow a structured training plan or course.

Finishing ahead of others doesn’t add much to the satisfaction I get from performing well.

I perform best when I go with my first instinct rather than analyzing the situation.

Before starting a new challenge, I like to create a detailed plan outlining all the steps.

When faced with a complex problem, my first instinct is to break it down and make a plan.

I would rather receive a prestigious award than the quiet satisfaction of a job well done.

Surpassing a well-established benchmark or outperforming a highly-regarded peer is deeply satisfying to me.

I believe success comes from following a detailed, structured plan.

I’m driven by the love of the activity itself, not by prizes or recognition.

Having a ‘friendly rival’, someone to compete against, pushes me to perform my best.

I rarely tell others about my achievements , the personal satisfaction is enough.

I am most effective and focused when I can work on my tasks independently without interruption.

I feel energized when working with others on shared tasks.

I get more done when surrounded by others than when working alone.

After competing, I immediately check how I performed relative to others

I find that sticking to a plan is usually more effective than improvising.

I am most productive when I can work alone without interruption.

Executing my personal game plan matters more to me than the outcome against rivals.

I’d rather be respected for my quiet competence than be the center of attention.

I evaluate my performance based on my own standards, not where I finish in the standings.

Recognition from others is what drives me to push harder.

I learn best by diving in and trying things myself, rather than reading instructions first.

I produce my best work and feel most energized when I am collaborating closely with a team or group.

I often feel that my best ideas come to me spontaneously, not through careful planning.

My best breakthroughs come from brainstorming and building on ideas with others.

In a group project, I often find myself wanting to just take my part and complete it on my own.

I’m drawn to competitive activities (sports, games, etc.) specifically because I enjoy the thrill of winning.

The thought of a promotion or a bonus is what keeps me focused at work.

Knowing that someone else is vying for the same promotion, project, or recognition motivates me to work harder.

I prefer projects where my individual contributions are clearly defined and I have full ownership over my part.

I’d rather figure things out as I go than spend time planning in advance.

I trust my gut reactions more than carefully thought-out strategies.

I rarely think about what my competitors are doing , my focus is on my own progress.

I am more motivated by a sincere ‘thank you’ from someone I respect than by a public award.

I’d rather work on a challenging project by myself than in a large group.

I’m motivated more by personal enjoyment than by external rewards.
