| + | <blockquote> | ||
| + | __Performance goal orientation__ | ||
| + | - I prefer to do things that I can do well rather than things that I do poorly. (P1) | ||
| + | - I’m happiest at work when I perform tasks on which I know that I won’t make any errors. (P2) | ||
| + | - The things I enjoy the most are the things I do the best. (P3) | ||
| + | - The opinions others have about how well I can do certain things are important to me. (P4) | ||

| + | __Learning goal orientation__ | ||
| + | - The opportunity to do challenging work is important to me. (L1) | ||
| + | - When I fail to complete a difficult task, I plan to try harder the next time I work on it. (L2) | ||
| + | - I prefer to work on tasks that force me to learn new things. (L3) | ||

| + | <blockquote> | ||
| + | __Performance goal orientation__ | ||
| + | - I wonder how my scores will compare to others | ||
| + | - I hope I don’t make any mistakes | ||
