Levanon and Losso began sorting people into emotional decision-making 'types' which affects the way in which they sort information. Levanon became 'anti-Darwinist' in deciding that not everybody is motivated strictly by survival concerns. He identified three basic motivating factors and says that they have different levels in different people.
"Why do babies cry? Because they are in trouble, in danger and need help surviving. Or because they are uncomfortable and want a state of familiarity and comfort. Or because they are bored and want attention and entertainment."
These are also what drives adults he believes - and studies have shown through brain scan that the brain emits different hormones for different states - adrenaline when we are afraid and threatened, Acetylcholine when we are in a routine comfort state, and dopamine when we are interested and intrigued by something.
Our differing limbic systems, he theorizes, divide us in to three basic types - survivalists, homeostatists, and growth-oriented - what they call S, H, and G values. We are all combinations of the three, but he believes that in everybody, one type dominates.

I feel that I'm primarily a G, secondarily an H, and lastly an S.
