Intrinsically or extrinsically motivated??

Question

Can someone please explain what intrinsically motivated and extrinsically motivated means ??

Are you more intrinsically motivated or extrinsically motivated?

Answer 1

was money involved?   lol

Answer 2

If you are intrinsically motivated, you are self-motivated.  If you are extrinsically motivated, you are motivated by a reward/punishement outside of yourself.  For instance, wanting to be able to be proud of your work is intrinsic motivation.  Wanting to get the prize offered for the best work is extrinsic motivation.  Obviously, in real life situations these often are blended together.  I am motivated by both, depending on the situation.
