Why does one person spend all day chasing "more" while another fixates on "don't mess up"? Regulatory focus theory says those are two separate motivational systems: promotion focus runs on gains and growth, prevention focus runs on safety and duty. This 11-item test, based on the questionnaire published by Higgins and colleagues (2001), scores each system independently. About 3 minutes.
