But the last time Frodo put the Ring on, at the Cracks of Doom, it was desire for power that motivated him. And each time the Ring sensed servants of its Master nearby, it urged him to wear it, and only his strong sense of self and selflessness enabled him to resist it as well as he did. I think just his proximity to the Ring worked on his mind, little by little, but every time he wore it its ability to wear him down increased.

I don't think Frodo's reasoning for wearing the Ring would be enough to base a comparison of fear and desire for power.
