Explore the values
Review the list and select between five and ten values that feel personally important.
Choose five priorities
Narrow your selection to five values you want to examine more closely.
Arrange your preferred order
Move the five values up or down until the order reflects your current priorities.
Review your result
Use the ordered list as a starting point for further reflection rather than a permanent definition of who you are.
What Are Core Values?
Core values are principles or qualities a person considers important. They can influence goals, choices, relationships, identity, and professional decisions. Values are personal, and their meaning or relative importance can change as circumstances and priorities change.
There is no universally correct number, order, or combination of personal values.
Tips for Ranking Your Values
- •Think about experiences that felt personally meaningful
- •Consider qualities you admire in other people
- •Distinguish what matters to you from what others expect
- •Compare values when several feel equally important
- •Treat the final order as a current reflection rather than a permanent result
- •Revisit the exercise when priorities or circumstances change
