Quizplus · Accepted Answer

McClelland's learned needs model does indeed focus on achievement motivation (nAch) as one of the key motivators, along with the needs for affiliation (nAff) and power (nPow), but it does not specify a percentage of the U.S. population that actually has achievement motivation. The model suggests that these needs are learned and can vary significantly among individuals, rather than implying a specific proportion of the population possesses a particular need.
