Leisure Motivation Questionnaire (LMQ) Assignment

Assignment 2

Leisure Motivation Questionnaire (LMQ)

        Select the LMQ, print it out or simply write down your answers to the 40 questions. Then score your responses using the key below. Each category has eight questions. The numbers listed in each category represent the item number in the LMQ questionnaire. Add your individual responses for each question and then total all items for each category. The lowest score per category is 8 and the highest is 40. The direction that you score high or low in each category will indicate your motivation for that specific category. Your scores are not good or bad they reflect your level of response to each motivator. The numbers shown below are the question numbers on the LMQ questionnaire. Add your scores for each answer for each category. Please only post the five categories and your total score for each in the VISTA Assignment Box.
