Namely, they fall into four groups, the General instincts, the Sensual instincts, the Strenuous instincts, and the Elevated instincts. The general instincts are the Health-instinct, the Morals-instinct, and the Fitting-instinct. The sensual instincts are the Food-Instinct, the Magic-instinct, and the Dress-instinct. The strenuous instincts are the Grab-instinct, the War-instinct, and the Preach-instinct. The elevated instincts are the House-instinct, the Pet-instinct, and the Peek-instinct.
