* Idealism, the need for social justice
* Independence, the need for individuality
* Order, the need for organized, stable, predictable environments
* Physical Activity, the need for exercise
* Power, the need for influence of will
* Romance, the need for sex
* Saving, the need to collect
* Social Contact, the need for friends (peer relationships)
* Status, the need for social standing/importance
* Tranquility, the need to be safe
