The Sixteen Basic Human Desires

In order to better understand yourself and the people around you, let’s examine each of the sixteen motivators. I’ll walk you through how each motivation manifests in someone’s behavior, depending on whether the drive is strong, weak, or neutral.

1. Power: The Desire to Influence and Lead Others

People who score high on power like to be in control in all situations. Some say that high power people are manipulative of others, while others say they’re ambitious. They enjoy influencing others and assuming leadership roles.

When someone is low on power motivation, it means they’re more service-oriented and enjoy working directly with people. They are non-directive; they want to support other people’s decisions more than they want to lead. Low power people prefer to stay in the background and avoid the spotlight.

The world needs all types of people, and it’s very helpful to understand where people fall on the spectrum. A good friend of mine who I work closely with is very high on power, but our other coworker is very low. Personally, I lean toward the middle to low range, so I’m considered “average.” We complement each other because of our differences.
