I think that I am motivated by....
-A sincere desire to want the best for everyone
-R-E-S-P-E-C-T
-Fear

I am honest with myself, but not always open with others. I'm flexible and I am able to decipher when my motivation changes very easily I might add.

Jealousy would be my least motiviation.

I'd say Ambition motiviates me the most tempered by faith and prinicipals.

Are you able to decipher when your motivation changes? N/A

Can you convince yourself your motivations are pure, even when they are not? N/A

Are you forthright with your motivations? Yes

Are you honest with yourself? Yes

Are you honest with others? Depends on if I want them to know my business or not

Are you flexible? Not on everything

Are you forgiving? Yes

just thought of something...duh...can someone who is dishonest answer questions on honest behavior with self/ others? My screws aren't all tight. Your motivations don't change as a situation "evolves"?

Being a student in the process of applying for med school, I am surrounded by bright, ambitious premeds who will do near anything to outshine the person next to them competing for their "spot" in med school. It makes the learning environment intense and most people show selfish, greedy motives as they look for opportunities to have the spotlight.

Working at the clinic I meet Alzheimer's patients motivated by survival and fear. Wanting to still leave their mark, live to enjoy and remember another day, and the fear of leaving this world behind. Their often conversational and wanting to impart a history to me in the hopes that if they forget, I will remember..me and every other person they can leave a fragment of their past with...
uh, Idol time...brb...lol

my answers...
Are you able to decipher when your motivation changes? yes.

Can you convince yourself your motivations are pure, even when they are not? no. im aware of more things than id like to be.

Are you forthright with your motivations? always.

Are you honest with yourself? usually. things may feel unbearable, but i know theyre there...i know what's wrong even if i may not undersand the best way to correct it.

Are you honest with others? this is a gray area for me.
sometimes i dont disclose enough and sometimes too much. sometimes i tell people exactly what im thinking and other times, i say the exact opposite. with my friends and family, im as honest as i can be...with my aquaintances, coworkers, etc...it depends. i change my thoughts and perecptions every day so its hard to say for sure.

Are you flexible? no. not at all.

Are you forgiving? almost always, i just need time....but i pretty much forgive and love all people.
