What's my character's motivation/goals?

I think they are just talking about the one in the base book, though I have seen others on line as well. Probably gonna have to work this weekend on one for my players, Start new game in about 3-4 days.  If I whip one up I'll throw it out for ya to see

Thanks

Yes, I was talking about the one in the book; though of course that's just a guideline that one can use to make their own quiz.

Lords of Olympus has its own character questionnaire, which is a different set of questions from Amber's.

I'm gonna do a modified quizz but in more of an oral interview form. Instead of filling it out on paper I think it will be easier to just do it more like a job interview of what if's and such. Might get more from these players, overall, then a written quiz.

Thanks

Depending on the character i tried to get them involved in the diplomacy of Amer on one level or another.  Also i had Random send them off to 'Appreciate the Situation' which meant go there and tell me what the blundering heck is going on there.  

On an individual basis i also had a article called the Diners of Amber.  It was a thing written in first person by Bleys after Patternfall introducing the Place Trumps in the decks the players received.  This gave them places to go and things to see, if not actually people to go kill.  This weened them from hack and slash gaming and got them to explore more.

Oddly enough, encouraging players to have hobbies worked well.  One player wanted to be a musician so he sought them out in shadow.  Collections began and players sought items for them.  Adventure abounded and the game developed from there.

For me the quiz has ALWAYS been done orally, not written. Its a way simpler and I think better way to do it.

And always, if at all possible, with the whole group. I usually alternate questions to each player, so that one player answers but everyone else is considering what their PC would answer.
