Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Individuals with a low need for achievement tend to set goals that are either very low, ensuring they can always meet them, or unrealistically high, where they can attribute their failure to the goal's difficulty rather than their own lack of effort or ability. This behavior avoids the risk of failure in realistic tasks, which could impact their self-esteem.
