          Needs Strength and Satisfaction Exercise

I. Now that you are familiar with each of the five needs--survival, power and respect, love and belonging, freedom, and fun--rank them according to how strong each need is for you personally, that is, how important the satisfaction of each need is to you. Designate the most important one as #1.
 

# 1 (My Strongest Need) is   

# 2 is    

# 3 is   

# 4 is   

# 5 (Least Important to Me) is
