Athletic Motivation Inventory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Athletic Motivation Inventory was developed in 1969 by Thomas Tuko, Bruce Ogilvie, and Leland Lyon.[1] It has just under 200 questions and measures the following scales:[2]

  • Drive
  • Aggression
  • Determination
  • Responsibility
  • Leadership
  • Self-confidence
  • Emotional control
  • Mental toughness
  • Coachability
  • Conscience
  • Trust

There are doubts about its usefulness.[3][4][5]
