The 16 life motives according to Reiss in the overview
There are two versions in the Reiss Motivation Profile®. The only difference is that „Romance" is not evaluated and described in one version. Instead, „Beauty" is evaluated. In terms of classification, the two life motives are the same, since in the results of the statistical evaluations using a factor analysis, the erotic, sensual aspects could not be separated from those involving the pursuit of beauty, art, design and aesthetics. Thus, although there are 17 descriptions, they relate to only 16 different life motives.
