Try the new SCARF tool
What motivates you? Find out.
In my leadership trainings and workshops I often use David Rock’s SCARF model (2008), so far as a paper handout. Now I have turned it into a web tool for virtual trainings. Give it a try, I would appreciate your feedback.…
For those who don’t know SCARF yet: the tool helps you find out what currently drives you personally. You rate 20 statements on status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness and fairness and get your results right away. It is free, needs no sign-up, and nothing is stored. You will find more details and the test via the link.
