Altruistic

Self-Actualizers are not egotistical, especially in dealing with problems.  Maslow called this attribute as problem-centered, because these people are much more focused on the greater good of others than themselves when dealing with problems. This is the opposite of how most people deal with problems.  It is as if they are focused on the problem from outside of themselves. 
Self-Actualizers feel a need call to fulfill a responsibility in the world, almost like a call to duty.  This mission may or may not be something that they want to do, none the less they feel this is something they must do,  This undertaking typically will require a great deal of their energy and classically has to do with something external, like being of service to a cause.
