Motif is getting a new lease of life
The Motif site and online tests are over a decade old. They have been an amazing and free resource for over a hundred thousand people helping children with their learning.
You might have noticed that it hasn't changed much over the years. That's because the technology is getting old and creaky, and it's becoming hard to maintain. It's also just not sustainable for us to keep supporting all those people for free. It's time to rebuild.
So we are giving Motif a new lease of life. We are re-releasing the popular CC2 and LeST tests as digital versions across 3 platforms: web, iOS, and Android. We will charge a fee for running a digital test, and will contribute 50% of the revenue back to the scientists who created the tests. The other 50% will go to the people who build and maintain Motif, Scipilot.
So let’s recap on what Motif is:
Access for anyone, with PDF versions always free.
Every test we put on this site can be administered for free with a downloadable PDF. Gain the benefits at zero cost, by printing and administering manually.
Digitised test versions for our popular tests.
Our most popular tests will be digitised, eliminating hours of manual work, and providing instant, accurate results and reporting. These are easy to use, and suited to large-scale adoption.
Tests you can trust to be useful and reputable.
With test authors and advisors from some of the most respected scientific institutions in the field, Motif only includes evidence-based tests, meaning you can trust what we offer.
Tests for a widening range of needs.
The wide variety of tests available at Motif will suit most children and situations. Screening style tests help initial assessment, while niche trouble-shooting tests can accurately pinpoint slippery problems. New tests for even broader situations will be added over time.
We are really excited to embark on this journey.
There will be a transition period of a few months while we get the new systems and tests completed, and shut down the old systems. Take a look here for details.
Don't forget, we will always provide the full set of tests as downloadable and printable PDFs.
If you have any questions, check out our new knowledge centre. You can ask us any questions that aren't answered there, and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
