Completing the MCode assessment takes about 30 minutes. The hardest part is figuring out which success stories you want to share!
Think back to your highest points, proudest accomplishments, greatest achievements, biggest successes, and happiest moments — times in your life when you loved what you were doing and were fully engaged, deeply satisfied, giving it your all, and showing up as your best self.
The stories you use can be from your work, hobbies and activities, school, childhood, play, volunteerism, passion projects, or any other parts of your life. If you can’t decide which stories to share, try picking stories from different aspects of your life or think about which experiences you’d most want to relive again.

Most personality assessments lead with labels they chose and every question you’re asked is used to stick you in a predefined box that aligns with what they think is important.
You’ve likely taken several of these personality assessments and when answering questions, thought to yourself, “It depends,” and that’s the problem. If you’d answer a question differently based on the day or how you’re feeling at the time, you can’t be sure the results are accurate and truly reflective of who you are. This is why most of the results are only sort of accurate and sort of relevant, and, why when it comes to actually applying those results in a meaningful way, even more fall short.
MCode flips the script and keeps the focus solely on you, your stories of success and achievement, and how you felt about those life experiences. It’s the only narrative-based personality assessment that uses your own personal stories, which makes every question asked and the results directly relevant to your work and life.
Another big difference is the focus of the assessment itself. Other personality assessments focus only on your strengths and weaknesses, the MCode assessment focuses on your motivations — the why that powers your actions, preferences, and decisions.
By uncovering what drives you, we learn about who you are, what makes you unique, how you contribute value to those around you, what inspires you to do your best work, and how you interact with people whose motivations differ from your own. Your unique MCode also highlights what you’re great at and not so great at and the types of environments where you’ll either struggle or thrive.
We’re not saying your strengths and weaknesses don’t matter but that when it’s the only lens for identifying your personality, a key ingredient is missing.
The truth is that you can be using a core strength and doing the thing you’re best at or something you love and still not feel fulfilled by or satisfied with the experience. Only when you uncover your motivations or your MCode will you understand why sometimes you go all-in and immerse yourself in a task or activity and other times you struggle to engage, stick with, or even finish the same task.
