- 01
Three depths
Spark is 18 questions for a quick read. Core is 36, with an adaptive tiebreaker when two types run close. Deep is 72, adding shadow questions, everyday scenarios and either-or pairs.
- 02
Results that show their working
Type, wing and tritype with a confidence label, and “Why this type?” behind them. If your answers barely separate the types, Motive says so. Tap any of the nine scores to read that type.
- 03
Instinct check
Nine statements find your lead instinct and your stack, self-preservation, social or one-to-one, and the subtype that goes with your type.
- 04
Your type, in depth
Nine levels of development, passion and virtue, fixation and holy idea, four blind spots, the types you’re most often mistaken for, and all three subtypes.
- 05
A 30-day path
One small practice a day, written for your type, in five phases from Observation to Anchor. An optional reminder brings each day’s own practice, and a quick check-in keeps a streak.
- 06
Report and card
A 12-page PDF of your reading and a 1080 × 1920 card for stories, both made on the phone and shared only where you choose.
Four steps. No sign-up.

Parchment by day. Navy by night.
Motive follows your phone’s light or dark setting, and Settings has a Dark Mode switch if you’d rather keep one. This page does the same: the button in the menu bar switches it.
Nothing leaves your phone.
Motive makes no network requests. Even its fonts are built in. Your answers, results, path and check-ins are saved on the phone, and Settings → Data → Erase All Data deletes them in one go. Read the privacy policy.

Questions.
When can I get Motive?
It isn’t on the App Store or Google Play yet. Leave your email on the notify form and we’ll tell you when it launches.
How much does it cost?
The price will be announced at launch. Everything is included: there are no in-app purchases, no subscription and no ads.
Which test should I take?
Spark (18 questions, about 3 minutes) for a quick read, Core (36 questions, about 8 minutes) for a full result, or Deep (72 questions, about 22 minutes) for the most careful one. You can take them as often as you like, and your last 30 results stay in History.
What if my result doesn’t feel right?
Read “Why this type?” and your runner-up, then the mistype comparisons on your type page, or take Deep. When your answers barely separate the types, Motive tells you the result is a starting point rather than a verdict.
What are the tritype and the instinct check?
Your tritype is your strongest type in each of the three centres, body, heart and head, written with your core type first. The instinct check is nine statements that find whether self-preservation, social or one-to-one (sexual) instinct leads for you, and which of your type’s three subtypes that makes you.
Is Motive a clinical or scientific test?
No. Motive is for self-reflection and personal exploration, not a clinical assessment or diagnosis. Its writing is original and draws on the work of Oscar Ichazo, Claudio Naranjo, Don Richard Riso, Russ Hudson and Beatrice Chestnut.
Does Motive need an account or the internet?
No. There is no account, and the app makes no network requests, so it works offline. Your results stay on your phone until you share a report or card yourself. See the privacy policy.
