	No clue what this is.... but I got 2/5. Hooray for random guesses, can't believe I got esteem.

	My economics A-level is finally useful!

	Jordan117:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 17:11 GMT	8 points
	Could "self esteem" count for "esteem"? Wikipedia says it's equivalent.

	On an unrelated note, I wonder what milestone Sporcle will hit first: 2,000 quizzes posted, or 100,000,000 quizzes played. (The stats are on the front page if you want to check them.)

	Can you let it accept Self-ActualiSation? I knew the answer and didn't get the point because I used the British spelling :-(

	btroup1:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 17:33 GMT	26 points
	Not that it affects the answers, but since it is a hierarchy, shouldn't the top answer be the one that is at the top of the pyramid?

	Can only remember self actualisation from business studies... although i just typed in a load and got love! I like this quiz. it's pretty niche.

	Lennon's hierarchy of needs: All you need is love. All you need is love. All you need is love, love. Love is all you need.

	I adore Maslow; he's my favorite psychologist that I studied when I took Psychology of the Personality.

	I used to have a textbook with this in it, with stick men by the side depicting the meaning. I was definitely only at the bottom rung, which was a stick man rubbing his belly saying "what a breakfast!"

	I missed love, but got the rest. I kept typing "psychological needs". I guess I'm a decent management theorist, but a sucky date.

	I tried 'physical' and everything under that - air food water shelter - none worked.

	I knew none and yet got 5! Good job my wife is a business teacher

	Finally, Health Class my Junior year in High School was good for something!

	As a former debater in high school, i should have known more of these. But on the other hand, his ideas were so often twisted out of proportion that I never got them in the first place.

	cocky:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 22:32 GMT	3 points
	@btroup1...I had the same idea. When I learned these in high school it was presented in that manner.

	doanie:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 00:08 GMT	-1 points
	there were 7 in the hierarchy. only scored if you got exact words.

	bsd987:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 00:56 GMT	-1 points
	if food counts for physiological, why doesn't sex count for love and belonging needs?

	Arbutus:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 01:32 GMT	6 points
	2/5. I am so sorry, Maslow. I have failed you.

	AntieAnnie:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 01:49 GMT	1 point
	Great quiz! @bsd987 - for some, wouldn't sex be a physiological need?

	MamaJoan:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 02:09 GMT	0 points
	Great quiz!!!

	Rhys:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 04:30 GMT	1 point
	I studied this for course work I did about 3 weeks ago and have completely forgotten them now.

	Veghead:	Sep 16th, 2009 at 14:10 GMT	-2 points
	Sorry - stupid quiz

	snowman888:	Sep 21st, 2009 at 23:40 GMT	1 point
	I typed in love as a joke....... I only got 3/5 Would have got 5/5 if I had more time. OK quiz Sporcle, OK quiz.

	I learned these in my Advanced Acting class. I can't remember the 2 bonuses. I think they're beauty and something else...

	katy_:	Dec 18th, 2009 at 04:46 GMT	1 point
	My psychology text lists "biological" rather than physiological and "attachment" rather than love, and I was very confused as to why they weren't accepted. Consider it? Also @bsd987 and @AntieAnnie, sex actually falls under physiological/biological rather than attachment.

	Osthato:	Mar 21st, 2010 at 21:32 GMT	1 point
	Love is all you need.

	ensiform:	Apr 4th, 2010 at 20:48 GMT	1 point
	Hooray for more academic quizzes on sporcle! I mean, pop culture is great but I like to mix it up with some serious knowledge.

	TheWhiteSummer:	Apr 25th, 2010 at 05:53 GMT	0 points
	I know my Maslow! 5/5

	Psychobabble:	Dec 14th, 2010 at 03:29 GMT	1 point
	Hey this was on the final I just took. Looks like I actually learned something in that class.

	OuTofPlAcE1718:	Feb 8th, 2012 at 13:06 GMT	1 point
	this is nice, but you need to accept just the word "safety" for "safety needs" thanks!

	ukchris82:	Apr 19th, 2012 at 16:07 GMT	1 point
	should accept "safety"

	barackattack:	Apr 21st, 2012 at 13:06 GMT	1 point
	Should accept 'actualisation' as well as 'actualization'.
