Abstract	The aim of this paper was to extend the German multidimensional measurement (KIM) to assess participants' subjective experience related to a target activity. This device consists of: one dimension with three items to test experience-based hypothesising and four dimensions to test intrinsic motivation. The data was gathered in Austria in 2017/18 in various primary schools (age=10 years, n= 677) after an inquiry-based learning lesson. The EFA revealed 15 items were loading on five factors. The reliability (Cronbach's [alpha] = 0.813 and Guttmann split-half coefficient = 0.834) and the validity (X[superscript 2](80) = 123.997; RMSEA = 0.0029 (90% CI = 0.018-0.0038); CFI = 0.986; TLI = 0.982; SRMR = 0.029) proved significantly a good model fit. The six dimensional questionnaire EKIM can be used to test intrinsic motivation and when engaged in inquiry-based learning in primary schools. (As Provided).
