Unique Humor


Maslow saw that the Self-Actualizer had a unique sense of humor.  These individuals did not find the typical jokes amusing.  Most humor is hostile and most people laugh at jokes intended to hurt someone, point out a person peoples inadequacies, or are indecent (smutty).  The Self-Actualizer character is to seek growth and be informed; which creates a humor that is philosophical and unhostile. They also possess the ability to laugh at themselves.
