Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-actualization is considered a growth need and is at the top of Maslow's hierarchy. The four needs at the bottom (physiological, safety, love/belonging, and esteem) are deficiency needs, meaning they must be fulfilled in order for an individual to feel motivated and satisfied. Self-actualization refers to the desire to reach one's full potential and is not based on deficiency or lack.
