Your values are the beliefs and principles that guide your choices and shape the way you want to live. They influence how you react in tough situations, how you treat others, and what goals you set for yourself.
This assessment will help you discover the values that are most important to you—the ones you want to stand by, even when it's difficult. Knowing your core values gives you a clearer sense of who you are, what motivates you, and how you can make decisions that fit your true self.
Reflection Tips: Culture vs. Core Values
Cultural values are often shared by your family, community, or country. You might feel proud of them, and they can be very important. But sometimes, they are simply "the way things are done."
Core personal values are the values that shape your decisions, no matter where you are or who you're with. These may align with your culture, or they may be a bit different because of your dreams, experiences, or beliefs.
Ask yourself: "Would I still want to live by this value even if I moved to a new place, or if other people disagreed?" If yes, it's likely a core value.
