Your values tell a deep story of who you already are.
The test will reveal:
Your twelve values, ranked. Your top values feel near-instinctive in everyday life—like core principles you do not want to compromise on.
Your rarest values. Some values are more common than others globally. See where you stand out most—your own magic.
Why some tasks repel you and others draw you in. There’s always a deeper reason motivating what we do, especially when you find your actions difficult to explain.
How you and the people you love may differ. The strongest disagreements between us, and within ourselves, occur when our polar opposite values collide.
Simply put: your values are your true nature. This test lets you meet them.
Backed by 40+ years of science.
This is not a Buzzfeed quiz. Supported by research on hundreds of thousands of participants, across more than 300 samples in more than 80 countries, the PVQ-RR (the revised Portrait Values Questionnaire) is the most validated values testing instrument in the world—built by Prof. Shalom Schwartz and refined over four decades.
We all share the same twelve values in different amounts. Yet, our own combination of values is what makes us truly unique. Some of us are motivated by self-direction and achievement, others of us are motivated more by power and stimulation. Knowing your own values is key to not only understanding yourself—but also seeing the motivations of others.
Once you see the twelve values in your daily life, you cannot unsee them.
Some of your values tug at one another—like when you both want to eat a donut (pleasure) and get six-pack abs (face and security). Other values support one another—like when you raise $2,000 for charity, motivated by both serving others (benevolence) and achievement.
Wherever you look, you will find the twelve values, pulling on the strings of the decisions you make, and the actions you take.

Nope: the testing instrument measures what you value. Curiously, research shows we see our values as closer to our ideal self than our personality traits.
Research shows that our values stay remarkably steady over time. That said, they do change when our life circumstances get upended—like when we move to a new country with a different political system, or completely change our field of work.
Your twelve values ranked and scored out of 10, your four orientations (openness to change, self-enhancement, conservation, and self-transcendence), a closer look at each value, and shareable cards made from your results. Plus the PDF keepsake, ready the moment you finish.
