In Dr. William Glassers Choice Theory
psychology, he proposes that all humans have five
basic needs. While we all share these same five
needs, we each have a specific need-strength
profile that was genetically programmed at birth.
This is one of the reasons why Choice Theory
remains a theory. We have yet to discover the
genetic material for these basic needs, but we
believe it exists. People sometimes confuse
Choice Theory needs with Abraham Maslows needs.
Maslow was talking about needs that began with
survival and ascended to self-actualization. His
needs were hierarchical, theorizing that a person
couldnt ascend to the next need without
realizing the one below it.

Superpower The superpower of Safety Security
is two-fold You are excellent at keeping
yourself and others safe. You are typically well
prepared and think of things others dont when it
comes to safety and you have excellent planning
skills. Your planning tends to be geared toward
keeping yourself and others safe, whether at
home, at work or in the community.
Dark Side The dark side of Safety Security is
that you may tend to be overprotective, stunting
the growth of the people around you. You can miss
out on the beauty of spontaneity because you
worry about what might happen if you throw
caution to the wind.
