Hi Iva. Based on your Five Factor results, you noticed significant variations in your scores for each of the personality traits. The most striking insight was your "Conscientiousness" score at 64%, indicating a balanced approach to organization and self-discipline, contrary to your initial expectations. In your perspective, most people tend to reach the "Love" stage, which is the third level of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, as fulfilling physiological and safety needs is crucial for survival in developed societies, and the inherent human need for social connections and belonging naturally propels them in that direction. However, you pointed out that numerous factors, such as negative self-beliefs, external validation-seeking, past traumas, and constant comparisons with others, can hinder people from attaining the "Self-esteem Needs" stage. As for self-actualization, described in Maslow's Hierarchy as the realization of one's full potential, while individuals may experience moments of it as they progress through the hierarchy, achieving a continuous and permanent state of self-actualization is viewed as relatively rare in your opinion.
