Sandy had a three hour window, maximum, that she could work on her group project for MGMT $310$A class. She began the work immediately when she had the chance and continued to work on it for the full three hours. However, she didn't get a lot of sleep last night because she was distressed that her favorite football team lost and can no longer make it to the playoffs. Therefore, she only put forth about half of her maximum effort during that three hour window. Out of the three key components of motivation, which of these is low?

intensity

direction

persistence

intrinsic

extrinsic
