How do I score the 6 Human Needs Test? My scores don’t make sense.

First, work your way through the quiz answering each question.  Give yourself the following points for each question:

Yes - 10 points

Partly - 5 points

No - 0 points

Then find the Scoring Key/Page.  This tells you which questions relate to which Need.  For example, the questions that relate to the need for Certainty are:

Certainty:  Questions  3 – 10 – 13 – 19 – 24 – 28 – 33 – 37 – 45 – 53 – 63 – 67 – 73 – 80

So when you add up your scores for all those questions (3 – 10 – 13 – 19 – 24 – 28 – 33 – 37 – 45 – 53 – 63 – 67 – 73 – 80), you get your score for Certainty.  

Continue through each Need until you have a score for all 6 Needs (Certainty, Uncertainty/Variety, Significance, Love/Connection, Growth, Contribution).  The Human Need with the highest score is the number one need, the second highest score is the number two need, and so on.
