MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS
11
Qualities of Self-Actualized People
An accurate perception of reality. They perceive the world as it is, not as they would like it to be. They are willing to accept uncertainty and ambiguity when necessary. Independence, creativity and spontaneity. They follow their own impulses. Acceptance of themselves and others. They treat people with unconditional positive regard. Have a problem-centered outlook, rather than a self-centered outlook. They think about how best to solve a problem, not how to make themselves look good. They enjoy life. They are open to positive experiences, including ‘peak experiences’. They have a good sense of humour.
