Lifestyle Values

What do you want to get out of life?

Work values are those values that relate specifically to the amount of satisfaction we get from our career. But our values pervade all aspects of our life. We don't leave them at the office when our work day is done.

To help you think more about what is important to you, we've listed nine common values below. Some of these values you will notice from the previous exercise. In this exercise, think of these values in terms of your entire life, and not just as part of your work. Describing what each of these values means to you and rating their importance in your life will help you get a clearer picture of what type of career will bring you satisfaction and fulfillment.

Directions:
  1. Enter your name and click the update button.

  2. Rate each value from 1 to 5, with a rating of 1 being very important to you, and a rating of 5 being unimportant. (Only ratings of 1 and 2 will be recorded on the summary page.)

  3. Describe what each value means to you.

  4. Be as open and as honest as possible.

  5. Click the "proceed" button.

  6. Share your findings with a friend, parent or someone you feel comfortable with. Have them read the How to be Supportive section.
