Achievement (Competitive, Ambitious, Hard Working, Persistent, Determined, Driven, Achievement Oriented)
Achievement indicates an individual's degree of organization, persistence, drive, hard work, and motivation in the pursuit of goal accomplishment. It is composed of two primary facets (but treated as a unitary factor): achievement motivation and dependability. Achievement motivation has been widely studied in the context of entrepreneurship but dependability has received much less explicit attention.
Those scoring high might be described as more ambitious, careful, thorough, persistent, focused, deliberate, disciplined and dependable. Individuals scoring low on Achievement may be seen as less disciplined, careful, complacent, indecisive and disorganized leading to lower productivity and success.
