3 Categories of NEEDS (Ns) : Human, Personality, Damage

2. PERSONALITY (cont)
🤓 In Recovery, the goal is to identify as many of our personality QUALITIES, which connect to our needs, AND to find healthy ways to provide them, both by our self & through our relationships with others – one-to-one, in groups or from the larger world.

EXPs
• Artistic types need to express their talents with imagination & self-expression vs the Scientifically oriented who need order & proof
• Introverts need a lot of down time vs Extroverts
• Emotional types need to identify how someone / something feels vs Thinking types who need to ‘logic it out’
• Loud people need a ‘platform’, an audience & many outlets vs quiet ones who need peaceful surroundings….
AND
• Parental types need to care for children vs non-‘nurturers’ who prefer work
• Realistic Idealists – to accomplish something valuable for humanity vs Worker types who only focus on the task at hand
• Physically oriented need to move around a lot vs more the sedentary…..
• Those who love ‘green’ nature vs water environments…..
➡️ LIPS : Personality Tests

🤓 Theories of personality are based on motives, which can be seen in behaviors which are controlled by needs (see Part 1). While some are temporary & changing, others are more deeply seated in our nature.

Henry Murray, (American psychologist, 1893–1988) described psychogenic (inborn) needs as a “potentiality or readiness to respond in a certain way, under certain given circumstances.” They function mostly on the unconscious level, while playing a major role in our personality.
These needs include:
• Affection Ns – our desire to love & be loved
• Ambition Ns – for achievement & recognition
• Information Ns – to gain knowledge & share it with others
• Materialistic Ns – for acquisition, construction, order & retention
• Power Ns – both for our own independence, & to control others    (Explanations….)
