Motivation Analysis Test

INTRODUCTION
Ergs : The word erg derives from the ‘greek’ word ‘ergon‘ means work or energy. Erg
denotes the concept of instinct or drive, that are innate energy or driving force for all
behaviours, the basic unit of motivation that directs us towards specific goal. Cattell’s factor-
analytic research identified 11 ergs:
Anger, appeal, curiosity, disgust, gregariousness, hunger, protection, security, self-assertion,
self-submission, and sex.

Sentiments : It’s an environmental-mold source trait because it derives from external social
and physical influences. It’s an pattern of learned attitudes that focuses on an important
aspect of life, such as occupation, religion, hobby, etc.
Both ergs and sentiments motivate behavior. While erg is constitutional trait, it’s permanent
structure of personality, which may strengthen or weaken behaviour but can’t disappear.
Whereas, sentiment results from learning, can be unlearned and disappear when no longer
important in life
