Positions of personality (egocentric, rational, altruistic) that accompany manifestations of target orientation of different degree (low, medium, high) are characterized. The egocentric position assumes satisfaction of biological and material needs, mercantile-utilitarian motivation. A rational position is to meet social needs, pragmatic and prestigious motivation.
