Based on the work of swiss psychologist or whatever he was, Eduard Spranger, there are apparently 6 types of motivators / attitudes to people:
Theoretical - A passion to discover truth. The chief aim in life is to order and systematize knowledge for the sake of knowledge itself.
Utilitarian / Economic --Practical interest in money and a passion for what is useful. Time and resources are meted out with an eye to future economic gain.
Aesthetic - Interest in form and harmony. Life is a series of episodic events, each enjoyed for its own sake. Has a heightened sense of beauty and inner vision (not necessarily talented in creative artistry).
Social - Inherent love of people. Seeks to eliminate hate and conflict. Other persons are ends to themselves (not means). Altruistic, kind, empathetic, and generous, even to their own detriment.
Individualistic / Political - The primary interest for this value is Power, not necessarily politics in the traditional sense. Research indicates that leaders in most fields have a high power value. In this person's eyes, other people may be seen and used as simply the means to an end.
Traditional / Regulatory - Unity and order. The need to be regulated or the need for structure from an outside source. Seeks to comprehend the cosmos as a whole and to relate themselves to a global totality. May alternate between the negation and affirmation of life, or seek mystical oneness. Dislikes change and chaos. May also exhibit inflexibility with regard to their convictions.
Basically we possess all of them, but have them sorted in different order of importance. So what do you think are your dominant attitudes, which make you a person you are? In my case, i am pretty sure my dominant are aesthetic (since my only desire is a beauty), followed by social (since i hate conflicts) and theoretical (since "i seek knowledge. what needs revealing?" 
), and then to certain extent regulatory. What i am surely not, is political and economical, heh.
So what about you?
