The research is bound to be controversial with many researchers who have tried to reduce all human behavior to just one or two basic desires - such as pleasure, pain or survival - or who say that that there are some desires that all people share equally, Reiss said.
But in looking at how people differ in these 16 desires, Reiss said he concluded that "we are individuals to a much greater extent than psychologists have previously realized. For example, Reiss said our educational system is built on the premise that all children are naturally curious curiosity is one of the 16 basic desires and have the same potential desire for learning.
But Reiss found that people can differ quite a bit in their maximum potential to enjoy learning. But our educational system cannot deal with the idea that there is someone who cannot enjoy learning and never will. Educators are making a mistake when they think all children were born with more or less equal potential to enjoy learning.
Reiss said parents of non-curious children should realize they will never be able to change their child's fundamental nature. As long as the child is not flunking and is meeting some minimum standards, parents should ease up on their expectations.
