The LUXXprofile Test is a comprehensive online standardized psychological assessment designed to provide deep insights into an individual’s primary motivational factors.
By exploring these factors, it facilitates a profound understanding of one’s behavior, leading to effective self-awareness and enhanced interpersonal relationships.
How Does the LUXXprofile Test Work?
The test captures the complexity of human personality through 16 distinct and stable primary motives or desires:
- Curiosity
- Social Acceptance
- Power
- Status
- Retention
- Autonomy
- Social Participation
- Principles
- Social Engagement
- Structure
- Safety
- Revenge
- Physical Exercise
- Food Enjoyment
- Family
- Sensuality
These factors are considered interactively to represent fundamental impulses within our personality. The LUXXprofile Test comprises 16 self-descriptive scales that measure these motives. Each scale is assessed through 9 items, each corresponding to statements about everyday behaviors, attitudes, and habits.
Profile Sample
Participants are asked to rate the extent to which each statement reflects their personal experience on a scale from 0 (“Does not apply to me at all”) to 5 (“Fully applies to me”). This allows individuals to express their unique motivations, desires, and values, revealing what is truly important to them, what drives their happiness, and what influences their motivation and demotivation.
Origins of the LUXXprofile Test
Developed between 2016 and 2017 by the Psychological Institute of the University of Luxembourg, under the direction of Professor Samuel Greiff and co-founded by Peter Boltersdorf, the LUXXprofile Test benefits from extensive expertise in personality diagnostics. Peter Boltersdorf has over 18 years of experience in motivational counseling, recruitment, leadership, team development, communication, and training for competitive environments, having worked with over 8,500 individuals from various cultures, including more than 1,200 professionals in football and other sports.
Benefits of the LUXXprofile Test
The LUXXprofile Test provides a detailed, non-diagnostic profile that offers valuable and objective insights into reflective self-knowledge. This can significantly support the structuring of both private and professional life, aid in the pursuit and achievement of personal goals, and influence areas such as relationships and education.
In summary, the LUXXprofile Test is a powerful tool for enhancing self-awareness and understanding, ultimately leading to more effective personal and professional development.
