Unit 2: Needs Assessment

Restoring Integrity Program

Core emotional needs are fundamental to being human and form the basis for the choices we make. We are all motivated by the desire to fill these needs. Successful people are those who know and understand themselves, can assess their situations, and create strategies to get their essential needs met.

It’s important to note that these core needs are not wants or desires – they are profound needs that drive behavior. Everyone finds ways to get their needs met, either consciously or subconsciously; either constructively or destructively. The purpose of this exercise is to help you identify your top 5 essential needs.

Once you have a greater awareness around these needs, and understand how they drive behavior; you will no longer live at the mercy of your emotions which are heavily influenced by needs. Instead you will be free to live a more secure, peaceful, fulfilled life.

Answer the following questions in each section and rate the answers on a scale of 0-4:

No=0
Sometimes = 2
Yes = 4
