Human Needs and Objective Personality

Dave and Shan looked at the Human Needs that Tony Robbins talks about and mapped them onto the four personality functions.

Tony Robbins’ List

1. Certainty: assurance you can avoid pain and gain pleasure
2. Uncertainty/Variety: the need for the unknown, change, new stimuli
3. Significance: feeling unique, important, special or needed
4. Connection/Love: a strong feeling of closeness or union with someone or something
5. Growth: an expansion of capacity, capability or understanding
6. Contribution: a sense of service and focus on helping, giving to and supporting others

– This list was taken from Tony Robbins website.
