Understanding PRINT
- People have Major and Minor PRINTS, but one PRINT always dominates
- No PRINT is better than any other
- The Minor PRINT influences the Major PRINT
- The Minor PRINT provides additional strategies to get the Unconscious Motivator of the Major PRINT met
- Different PRINTS can exhibit similar behaviours
- There are 72 PRINTS that come from 9 Major and 9 Minor PRINTS
