The MCode Assessment
The only narrative-based assessment powered by stories and backed by science
Every person, including you, has unique success stories that shape their identity. MCode pairs those stories of achievement with more than half a century of behavioral data and scientific research to provide the game-changing, motivation-driven insights needed to connect people to their purpose and ignite passion.

Experience Deep Satisfaction in work, play, and life
MCode empowers individuals to unleash peak performance, collaborate well with others, and step into greatness. Understanding your MCode means understanding how you can be your best, most brilliant, self each and every day.
You at your best
When you’re motivated to go all-in and use your strengths for something you care about, you show up at your best and wow those around you.
Work at its best
When you’re fully engaged with work that aligns with what lights you up and drives you, you do your best work and find fulfillment in that work.
Play at its best
When you contribute to social groups in rewarding ways and your play is meaningful, you feel a greater sense of belonging and happiness.
Life at its best
When you fully embrace what makes you unique and are appreciated for who you are, you wake up looking forward to the day ahead every day.
MCode is more than a personality assessment
Personality assessments are helpful tools but the truth is, a person can be using their strengths in a role that matches their personality and still feel uninspired, unfulfilled, and unsatisfied.
What’s missing is motivation — understanding why someone has those strengths and what drives them to engage, do their best, persist no matter what, and achieve success — and that’s what makes the MCode assessment so valuable.
MCode identifies an individual’s unique Motivation Code, which explains not only who they are and what their strengths are, but what motivates them, why it matters, and how those motivations affect their decisions and actions.

Discover what drives action and engagement
MCode reveals an individual’s core purpose and what motivates them to act and get involved.
Learn what makes someone tick and what they care about

MCode highlights an individual’s unique insatiable motivational drive they seek to fulfill in work and life.
Story + Science = Relevant, actionable results
Unlike other personality assessments, MCode is all about you and your own lived experiences. It starts with your stories of achievement and success, asks questions about your experiences and how you felt and still feel about them, and uses 60 years of validated scientific methodology and insights from more than one million stories to reveal your Motivation Code or MCode.
