MOTIVATION TEST

Motivation to change is the best predictor we have of how successful you will be will be in your desire to change your behavior.  For instance, if you want to stop smoking or lose weight, this simple but accurate test will give you a reasonably good idea of how well you are likely to respond to treatment.

        Rate yourself on these four aspects of motivation.

1)    How IMPORTANT is it for you to change NOW?

3)    How CONFIDENT are you that you can change now?
        0____1____2____3____4____5____6____7____8____9____10

4)    How COMMITTED are you to change now?

SCORE INTERPRETATION

0-20    You're thinking about changing but not ready to take action. Discuss  with someone the issues are that may be holding you back.

21-30    You've got a reasonable chance of success but there is a part of you that is hesitant. Don't worry if your CONFIDENT score is lower than  the others. This may be due to you having tried so many treatments in the past that you can't believe that effective help is available.  It is, and you can change, with the right help.

31-40    You're ready to take action. The higher your score, the more likely you are to succeed.
