What is "Intrinsic Motivation" driven by?

Intrinsic motivation refers to motivation that comes from inside an individual rather than from any external or outside rewards, such as money or grades.

The motivation comes from the pleasure one gets from the task itself or from the sense of satisfaction in completing or even working on a task.

An intrinsically motivated person will work on a math equation, for example, because it is enjoyable.

I get my intrinsic reward from gaining achievements in the video games I play. It's like a little pat on the back and a well done

Darlene Davidson, Oh, there you are! What did you say about the Planets trivia that Gail Brown got so upset with you and called you a Moron, is what I think she was trying to spell? She said to stay out of Canada too? What gives? They removed your comment, but, left her's there for all to see and wonder??
