In 1938, the American psychologist Henry Murray developed a system of needs as part of his theory of personality, which he named personology. Murray argued that everyone had a set of universal basic needs, with individual differences among these needs leading to the uniqueness of personality through varying dispositional tendencies for each need; in other words, a specific need is more important to some people than to others.
