ABSTRACT
This chapter describes two well-known psychological models. The first is Maslow's theory of motivation and the second is Myers-Briggs type indicator. Maslow's theory of human motivation is a popular theory on human motivation. Maslow described five levels of needs, where each level represented a need that must first be acquired and maintained before moving on to the next level. The five levels of the hierarchy are physiological, safety, love and belonging, self esteem and self actualization. Maslow's framework can provide a structure for grading individuals and understanding their motivations. Myers-Briggs type indicator model is often used as part of the interviewing process or in team building programmes. It was based on work done by Jung on psychological types. Jung classified two equal pairs of cognitive functions are decision making rational functions: thinking and feeling, and information gathering irrational functions: sensing and intuition. Jung believed that these functions were expressed either in an introvert or extrovert form.
