Maslow said that needs 1-4 are deficiency
motivators and are generally satisfied in
order when the previous need is fully or
partially satisfied. If ticked above they are
probably satisfied. If a need ceases to be
satisfied there is less or no motivation to
strive to maintain or satisfy higher level
needs. Needs 5-8 are growth motivators. If
ticked above they are likely to be a focus of
personal growth motivation. This test is
based on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
