Wave is designed around four clusters; Thought, Influence, Adaptability, and Delivery. For each facet, of with there are 108, there are two accompanying questions, one for talent and one for motive. Talent questions directly label qualities and allow the individual to self-declare possession of that skill. Motive questions, however, are designed to assess the importance of that quality to the individual.
