===Need for achievement=== {{Main|Need for achievement}} Murray defined [[need for achievement]] as the attempt to overcome obstacles. Need for achievement (nAch) was defined by McClelland as the motive to strive for success in particular situations in which his/her performance would be looked at against some type of standard. McClelland used the thematic apperception test in order to test this part of his theory. He would show people four pictures and ask people to write a story regarding these pictures. Based on his/her story, McClelland would be able to determine what type of achievement a person strived.<ref name="cengagesites.com">{{cite book|chapter-url=http://cengagesites.com/academic/assets/sites/Schultz_Ch05.pdf|title=Theories of Personality|chapter=Chapter 5 β Henry Murray: Personology|publisher=Cengage Learning|url=http://www.psychlab.net/uploads/4/5/8/3/4583362/theories_of_personality.pdf|author=Duane P.
