How Reflector Drives works
GITP describes Reflector Drives as a drives questionnaire based on Schwartz’s model of values, with an adaptive method of measuring: the questions move with your answers. Its sample report tells the candidate that they have compared different goals that people can find important in work. GITP does not publish the exact question format.
The result is your personal hierarchy of twelve drives in four clusters: Profileren (Invloed, Prestatie, Welvaart), Beleven (Plezier, Avontuur, Vrijheid), Verbinden (Dialoog, Zorg, Team) and Behouden (Rechtvaardigheid, Traditie, Zekerheid). The report leads with your three strongest drives and the three that matter least, and shows how far each stands out against a norm group.
It is sold on its own and inside Talent Match. GITP releases the report straight after the assessment, once you have approved it.
How to answer
A comparison only works if you let yourself choose:
- Pick the goal that matters more to you, even when both matter. That is how a ranking gets built.
- Think about work you have actually done and enjoyed, not an ideal job.
- Answer at a steady pace. Long thought tends to favour the goal that sounds better.
- Do not try to match the employer’s values. A profile that fits one organisation poorly can fit the next one well.
What the twelve drives mean
GITP’s sample report glosses six of them in three words each. Vrijheid: independence, self-reliance, autonomy. Avontuur: variety, excitement, taking risks. Prestatie: success, excelling, recognition. Traditie: preserving, continuing, respecting. Welvaart: financial reward, luxury, comfort. Rechtvaardigheid: honesty, doing right, sustainability.
Tips for the real Reflector Drives
- Read the drive names above before you start, so the report makes sense straight away.
- Expect to be asked about the same drive more than once. Judge each goal as it is written rather than trying to stay consistent with an earlier answer.
- Use the approval step. GITP releases your report only after you have agreed to it, so read it before you approve.
- If you are asked about the result, talk about your top three drives with an example from your work.
Practise Reflector Drives on CogniPrep
GITP does not publish its question format, so our version is our reading of it: two goals at a time, each tied to one of the twelve drives, with later pairs chosen from your earlier choices. Expect 36 to 48 choices, untimed and with no going back. The result ranks the twelve drives, names your strongest and weakest three, and scores the four clusters.
