Glasser's Choice Theory Assessment

Glasser's Choice Theory Assessment

Discover your primary innate drivers

Understanding Choice Theory

Choice Theory reveals a fundamental truth: every behaviour you choose is your best attempt to meet five basic human needs. Developed by psychiatrist Dr. William Glasser, this powerful framework explains why people act the way they do and offers practical insights for creating more satisfying relationships and life decisions.


According to Glasser's research, all human behaviour stems from attempts to satisfy five genetically hardwired needs: Survival & Security, Love & Belonging, Power & Recognition, Freedom & Independence, and Fun & Enjoyment. Understanding your unique pattern of these needs empowers you to make conscious choices that align with your authentic drivers rather than reacting unconsciously to life's challenges.
