A new theory on human needs as explained through 222 Google SketchUp screenshots. Note: Slideshare gutted the autmation and turned it into 313 slides you have to move through yourself. The 222 page PDF is available at my DeviantArt page, here: http://dniolet.deviantart.com.

111. Natural Needs come directly from Maslow’s hierarchy of needs;
however, there are some differences. Firstly, Maslow proposed that
there were 8 steps in his needs pyramid. He made 4 pairs from the
8. The Natural Needs in this Needs Paradigm are the first member in
each of those pairs. The second members are the Confirmation
Needs, which will be explained next. Secondly, whereas Maslow's
pyramid entailed that the needs arose in a succession, this Needs
Paradigm has all the needs beginning at once; however, the needs
are not entirely without structure/order, as Max Neef would have
them with his nebulous of simultaneously competing needs.
The hierarchy built within this Needs Paradigm is based on
precedence. The needs on top take precedence over those below
and progress to the next level is hindered if needs in a previous
Natural Need level have not been well met.

118. Confirmation Needs are the second member in Maslow's pairs. They serve
two purposes: 1) to secure the means by which we were able to meet our
Natural Needs, and 2) to help us synthesize all that we experienced at each
Natural Need level so as to prepare us to move to the next level of Natural
Needs. Out of the Confirmation Needs come Response Needs. It is at these
points that most of humanity’s troubles lay because there exist crossroads,
and more often than not, humans choose the path that leads to continued
suffering, which is precisely what we are trying to avoid from the start.

125. We need to feel like we are progressing through life. Progress requires
action. Response Needs are the manner in which we ATTEMPT to progress
through life, and thus the Needs Paradigm. Again, Response Needs are
prompted by our Confirmation Needs, which seek to secure and confirm our
ability to meet our Natural Needs.
Unlike Positive Responses, Negative Responses occur on the
path toward Fear and/or Selfishness. Actions will seem like Positive actions include those that occur on the path

127. Capstone Needs are the rewards from having achieved Natural and
Confirmation Needs regardless of the manner in which we chose to
respond to meeting those needs. They exist in a sort of cloud
almost outside of this Needs Paradigm. It is a place to break away
for a time and indulge ourselves. Most people treat the Capstone
Needs as the ultimate goal in maneuvering through life, and thus
this Needs Paradigm, and do everything they can to remain there.
If nothing else is able to make such individuals wake up to reality,
then our Obligations, which you will see next, are always there to be
a ceiling and remind us of more important needs.

147. What’s important to understand, and why societal formation
is even in this Needs Paradigm is because of the fact that
societies move through this Needs Paradigm in much the
same way as people - societies are made up of people after
all - falling into the same cycle of pain/suffering.

Needs Paradigm. Unfortunately, the descriptions of each
category of needs would not fit in the graphic.

merely understand correctly what the
information entails, but an ability and
willingness to apply it to the various
situations in which we find ourselves -
from perceiving a friends emotional
state to recognizing inner hubris.
Likewise, what is important on this
axis is our ability to establish truth for
ourselves and abide by that truth. It
can also concern how close we come
to objective truth, but again, we’ll not

231. The Human Response
Matrix is made up of 8
Quadrants.
We’ll examine each one
next.
But first it should be noted
up front that the chosen
viewing angle of this
Matrix was intentional, as
you’ll soon notice. It
should also be noted that
the very center of the
Matrix is the point of
“average” for all of the
axes.

233. The Childish Quadrant.
Childish because it is the
quadrant created by the
traits: Fearful, Selfish, and
Incapable. Individuals in
this quadrant are just as
its name describes. It is
the quadrant that is closest
to us in this view because
it is the quadrant in which
we are all born and too
often do not climb out of.

235. The Exemplary Quadrant.
Exemplary because it is the
quadrant created by the
traits: Fearless, Selfless,
and Capable. Individuals
in this quadrant are pillars
amongst us. It is the
quadrant farthest away in
this view because it is so
rarely occupied.

237. The Strengthened
Quadrant
Strengthened because it is
a mixture of the traits:
Fearless, Selfish, and
Capable. Individuals in
this quadrant are looking
out for themselves and
doing so very well, at
least, so it would appear.
The important thing that
separates them from other
quadrants is that their
actions are not our of fear.

239. The Weakened Quadrant
Weakened because it is a
mixture of the traits:
Fearful, Selfless, and
Incapable. Individuals in
this quadrant are dealing
with some heavy matters,
acting out of fear, but are
not taking it out on others.

241. The Cautious Quadrant
Cautious because it is a
mixture of the traits:
Fearful, Selfless, and
Capable. Individuals in
this quadrant are best
known for their healthy
pessimism and are willing
to let others in on it.

243. The Admirable Quadrant
Admirable because it is a
mixture of the traits:
Fearless, Selfless, and
Incapable. Individuals in
this quadrant are best
known for their optimism,
and sometimes, ignorant
blissfulness.

245. The Deplorable Quadrant
Deplorable because it is a
mixture of the traits:
Fearful, Selfish, and
Capable. Individuals in
this quadrant are fully
aware of that which
provokes their actions and
the consequences of those
actions, but are blinded by
self-preservation too much
to care. The world’s worst
characters reside in this
quadrant.

247. The Reckless Quadrant
Reckless because it is a
mixture of the traits:
Fearless, Selfish, and
Incapable. Individuals in
this quadrant are oblivious
to the pain/suffering their
actions bring on others
and themselves.

249. Revealing The Realm
Each pair of axes creates a
natural area of likelihood
wherein responses would
reside. For instance, as
you can see here, if
someone is Incapable at
synthesizing information,
they are MORE likely to be
Fearful. We’ll find this
area for each pair next.

This is The Realm of
likelihood wherein most
responses will fall;
however, that is not to
suggest that there are not

responses that fall outside
of The Realm. People are

The next slide will be a
recap of The Human
Response Matrix, which
will be good for printing or
saving.
