How does the core values quiz work?

Start with 147 values and their definitions. Review the list, narrow your choices in stages, compare close choices, then select and rank your final five to eight values. You can include ties and review your choices before finishing.

Is this a personality test?

Your result is the ranked list you select. The quiz does not assign a personality type, diagnose anything, interpret your values, or prescribe actions. There are no right or wrong answers, and your priorities may change over time.

Can I see my results without signing up?

Yes. The entire exercise and your results are free, with no sign-up or email required. Your answers stay in your browser. Saving on this device is optional, and you can export a local copy of your results.

Where do the values come from?

The list adapts the public-domain Personal Values Card Sort by Miller, C’de Baca, Matthews and Wilbourne (University of New Mexico, 2001), with additional values and revised definitions. This adaptation is not a clinically validated assessment.
