* Read the following eight statements and tick below those that apply to you.
[Maslow "Hierarchy of Need Reference Alan Chapman (2003)]
There are no right or wrong answers. Only Tick Mark those which feel right.
 
I am successful in life and/or work, and I’m recognised by my peers for being so. I’m satisfied with the responsibility and role that I have in life and/or work, my status and reputation, and my level of self-esteem.
 
I am part of, and loved by, my family. I have good relationships with my friends and colleagues - they accept me for who I am.
 
Above mostly everything else, I actively seek beauty, form and balance in things around me. My interest in beautiful culture and the arts is central to me.
 
My aim is self-knowledge and enlightenment. The most important thing to me is realising my ultimate personal potential. I seek and welcome ‘peak’ experiences.
 
I generally feel safe and secure - job, home, etc. - and protected from harm. My life generally has routine and structure - long periods of uncontrollable chaos are rare or non-existent.
 
The most important thing to me is helping others to reach their ultimate potential, whatever that may be, even at my own expense.
 
Aside from dieting and personal choice, I never starve through lack of food, nor lack of money to buy food. Aside from the usual trauma of moving house, I have no worry at all about having somewhere to live - I have ‘a roof over my head’.
 
Improving my self-awareness is one of my top priorities. The pursuit of knowledge and meaning of things, other than is necessary for my work, is extremely important to me.
