Abstract
This preview comprises a short introduction on our novel
theory for an evolutionary psychological motivation-based,
categorized explanation of individual differences. Based on our
findings we constructed an evolutionary taxonomy of motivation
(EToM) that we correlated with the traits of the five factor model
(FFM). EToM is not just a useful tool for categorizing individual
differences but also functions to understand explain and predict
individual behavior.
