Intrinsic/Innate Motives	All organisms are born with innate biological tendencies that help them survive. This theory suggests that instincts drive all behaviors. Instincts are goal-directed and innate patterns of behavior that are not the result of learning or experience. Also known as innate motives. Example - Hunger, sleep, pain avoidance, thirst, etc.
Extrinsic Motives	Extrinsic motivation involves completing a task or exhibiting a behavior because of outside causes such as avoiding punishment or receiving a reward. Extrinsic motives occur when an individual is driven by external influences. These can be either rewarding (money, good grades, fame, etc.) or punishing (threat of punishment, pain, etc.). or incentives.

Hence, we can conclude that achievement is a secondary motive.
