A batch of the best highlights from what Shrishty's read, .
If you want to determine whether you are reward-oriented, threat-oriented, or both, try asking yourself whether the following groups of statements are true of you. If you are reward-oriented: When I get something I want, I feel excited and energized. When I want something, I usually go all out to get it. When I see an opportunity for something I like, I get excited right away. When good things happen to me, it affects me strongly. I have very few fears compared to my friends. If you are threat-oriented: Criticism or scolding hurts me quite a bit. I feel pretty worried or upset when I think or know somebody is angry at me. If I think something unpleasant is going to happen, I usually get pretty “worked up.” I feel worried when I think I have done poorly at something important. I worry about making mistakes.
