Brainstorm a list of needs/motivations. These needs/motivations should encompass all aspects of a very full life—however YOU decide to define this.

Once YOU have developed comprehensive lists of needs/motivations, organize them into a “Hierarchy of Needs” starting with the most basic of needs/motivations up through the most complex, higher-level needs/motivations– keep the list manageable, with 10 as an upper limit.

Describe your Hierarchy of Needs (You can create a graphic if you think it’s helpful) and answer the following questions for your prompt:

Which motivations/needs did you place at the lowest level? How much consensus do you expect to see when comparing your list to others?

Which motivations/needs did you place at the top?
