YOUR FIRST NEED IS FOR GROWTH

Congratulations on taking the time to take the 6 human needs assessment. There are 6 human needs that everyone has at varying levels. The 6 needs are for CERTAINTY, UNCERTAINTY/VARIETY, SIGNIFICANCE, LOVE/CONNECTION, GROWTH, and finally CONTRIBUTION. Please keep in mind that there are no right or wrong answers in this assessment.

Knowing ourselves, what drives us, and what our blind spots could be are incredibly important. This test was developed by Cloe Madanes and Tony Robbins as a great way to get insight into ourselves. Here are your overall scores for all 6 human needs.

Your Beliefs

You need to constantly develop new skills, learn new things, and improve at what you already know. You have to develop yourself physically, emotionally, intellectually, and/or spiritually. You need to be constantly growing.

How this belief Serves You

There is always a new challenge and something new to learn.
You’re not dependent on others in order to find joy in learning.
You’re self-sufficient and active in your pursuits.
You’re not attached to material possessions.
It’s not about what you have; it’s about what you know and what you’re able to do.

The Principles You Have The Potential to Lose Sight Of

Connecting and giving to others can be more fulfilling than acquiring new knowledge and skills.
There can be more pleasure in sharing than in accumulating.

The Consequences of Losing Sight Of This Principle

You can be seen as reserved and unwilling to share.
You can become detached and overly private.
You tend to undervalue relationships

CHARACTER

Focus

You focus on learning, studying, developing your skills, and being the best you could possibly be.

Energy

You conserve your energy and focus away from feelings in order to learn everything there is to be learned. You are self-contained and you set careful limits to protect your time and privacy.

Health

If your need to grow is tied to developing physically, you will do whatever is necessary to stay healthy and fit.

What You Avoid

You will do anything to avoid feeling inadequate or drained. You avoid demands and intrusions on the privacy that allows you to focus on your own personal growth.

Strengths

You’re respectful of others. You’re thoughtful, calm, and dependable. You like to think that you’re a model of self-improvement for others.

Communication Style

Because you like to focus on content and facts, people might see me as distant. Words that you use frequently are: I, me, myself, know, learn, grow, develop, understand, analyze, accomplish, goals.

Stress

You’re stressed when you feel tired or dependent on others. Intrusions to your privacy are stressful to you.

Defensiveness

You become defensive when there are intrusions or limitations on what you want to do. You can become angry when people interfere with your need for privacy.

Emotions

You’re careful when expressing emotions but you can have outbursts of temper when you feel intruded upon.

GROWTH AND BALANCE

Your Goal

Your goal is to be able to pursue your growth while enjoying relationships and connections with people. You need to be able to experience joy and pleasure in many ways, not just by learning.

What To Do

You need to find balance in life by focusing more on others, rather than on your own growth and development. You need to experience pleasure in giving, to be less reserved, and give priority to love and relationships. You need to take better care of those you love.

What Interferes With This Goal

The belief that you’re not worthy if you don’t constantly improve yourself.

The importance that you give to privacy interferes with your goal.

You need to recognize that you can appear self-centered.

How Others Can Support You In Your Goal

Others can appreciate my ability to be self-sufficient and independent as well as my willingness to live and let live, while at the same time encouraging me to be more social and loving.
