Activity

This is a gray area that ther course treats as black and white.  Many motivators defined as extrinsic are also often intrinsic.

Example.  I get a gold star for having the top grade on a test.  That's extrinsic, and out course would say that's all it is.  But I like getting the gold star because it symbolizes my accomplishment and enhances my confidence.  That's intrinsic.

The course treats this topic as if all the motivators mentioned are cut-and-dried one, the other, or both.  I disagree.  Just about anything can be an intrinsic motivator, even grades and a good job.  It depends on the motivator's value as perceived b the individual.  Getting a good job, for example, is certainly an extrinsic motivator because it resluts in rewards that can be easily seen by others, but for most people it is also very much an intrinsic motivator because it provides a sense of accomplishment that is purely internal.
