What's the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation
- Intrinsic motivation is when people make decisions based on their personal wants and needs.
- Extrinsic motivation is when people make decisions based on external factors.
For example, let’s say Customer A and Customer B are both in the market for a new pair of running shoes to train for an upcoming marathon.

So, which customer is intrinsically motivated?
Customer A.
