Implicit motives are key drivers of individual differences but are time-consuming to assess, requiring many hours of work by trained human coders. In this paper we report on the use of machine learning to automate the coding of implicit motives. We assess the performance of three neural network models on three unseen datasets in order to establish baselines for convergent, divergent, causal, and criterion validity. Results suggest that this is a promising direction to pursue in developing an automatic procedure for coding implicit motives.
