desire, need, limitation, or something a person values. Interests provide the basis for positions. Some interests are concrete and easy to identify. For example: “I like breeding and training dogs, and I need the extra income,” or “My kids need sleep.” Other interests are abstract, hidden, and difficult to measure. For example: “I don’t want my family to think I can be pushed around,” or “This is the only thing I’ve ever done that made me feel like a success.”
