CLEP Psychology

Answer: A - Amanda’s parents are always nagging her that she must develop a need for achievement so that she can gain excellent and success in her field.
Key Takeaway: A need for achievement is a powerful internal motivator that pushes people to become the best in what they do. In most competitive fields such as Olympic sports, a person’s need for achievement is a motivator through long, grueling hours of practice. If the need for achievement (which is often an internal motivator) is weak or lacking, then the drudgery involved in long years of training and practice becomes unbearable and the person is liable to quit at any time.
