Every employer should know how each of their employees is best motivated. Talk to the interviewer about the variety of ways in which you are best motivated on the job.

"I am best motivated through words of praise and recognition for a job well done. I do like to know that my efforts are noticed. In my current position, we have a leaderboard, and I do like that concept because it creates a healthy bit of personal competition for me as well."

Of course, we are all working so that we can earn a living. But for me, once this need is covered, my main drive in my job is continuous learning, being exposed to new challenges, and feeling that I'm adding value to the team I'm part of.
Marcie's Feedback
These are all great motivators. It's also good how you mention money but make it clear that you're driven by so much more than just that. Nice! If you want, you could spell out exactly what continuous learning means to you (e.g., on-the-job training, continuing education courses), what exposure to new challenges means to you (e.g., frequently being given new responsibilities, variety in your workload), and what adding value to a team means to you (e.g., feeling connected to your team, being recognized for achievements, seeing the direct impact of your work).
