The Need to Achieve

I thought it was interesting how people with a need to acheive, would pick the trash can to shoot at that was most likely to be accomplished.  People with no need to achieve would choose the one thats the farthest away so that they would have a crutch to blaim the fact that they missed.  I didn't know this before doing this demonstration.  I found out that I have a need to achieve because i shot for the one that i would make a decent amount of hypothetic money on and that i would be attainable at making.  My thought process was similar to the theory, but when i realized it, i was hindsightly biased.  This is the connection that i formed after this experiment.  I'm more likely to take moderate risks instead of huge risks, because i'll always want to succeed.
