Learning occurs through motivation therefore, personalizing motivation is key to enhancing learning rate and retention for the learner. Supplying the intelligent tutors with key information not will advance the familiarity of indi-vidual’s motivational factors and interest for individualizing motivation. Building this relationship stems from a streamlined Motivational Assessment Tool (MAT), aimed at assessing several motivation factors.

The creation of the assessment allows the intelligent tutor to implement reinforcers that influence motivational level based off individual variances such as personality.
