Motivation depth: graduation requirement / pure interest / career advancement / impact / combination
Success definition: What does "done well" look like to you?
Risk tolerance: safe incremental improvement vs. high-risk high-reward breakthrough

Time urgency: deadline-driven vs. long-term accumulation
Learning willingness: use familiar tools/domains vs. learn new ones
