Everyone's behavior is influenced primarily by one of these five motivations: Artist, Shepherd, Priest, Educator, or Producer.

Distilled to their cores, here are the definitions for each.

1. Artists notice nuance.

2. Shepherds consider the individual.

3. Priests overflow with simple love and pure devotion to Jesus.

4. Educators bring out the best in others.

5. Producers plan, in order to exceed usual limits.
