MAWASI Report
The Money and Work Adaptive Styles Index (MAWASI ©) evolved out the initial work of Bonnie Dendooven’s search to help individuals with challenges surrounding money and work. Utilizing theories in attachment, neuromarketing, and behavioral economics Ms. Dendooven had originally designed the test with 9 sub-scales. A factor analysis revealed 12 sub-scales. These 12 sub-scales represent the various ways (behaviorally, emotionally, and cognitively) that money and/or work has affected the individuals life.

Rather than utilize a one-size fits all approach, we utilize specialized assessments and evaluations to identify core issues.
