Intrinsic vs extrinsic

This is a gray area that ther course treats as black and white.  Many motivators defined as extrinsic are also often intrinsic.

Example.  I get a gold star for having the top grade on a test.  That's extrinsic, and out course would say that's all it is.  But I like getting the gold star because it symbolizes my accomplishment and enhances my confidence.  That's intrinsic.
