Values Assessment
Free personal values assessment: pick from 88 values, rank your top 10 with pairwise choices and compare them with company cultures. About 10 minutes.
Values Assessment is a free, guided exercise for working out which personal values matter most to you. It takes about 10 minutes in your browser with no account, and ends with a ranked list of your top 10 values and how they line up with the stated values of ten large companies.
How to use it
- Select: browse 88 values and pick between 15 and 25 that resonate.
- Refine: narrow those down to 10.
- Compare: choose between every pair of your 10 values, 45 choices in all.
- Discover: see your ten as a star chart (in 3D where your device supports it), read them as a word cloud or a ranked list, explore company alignment with a culture radar for each company, and print a card or a full report.
Why it matters
When your work lines up with your values, it tends to feel better as well as go better. Yet most people have never written theirs down, and run instead on what they think they should want. You leave with a ranked list of your top 10, a sense of which of them pull against each other, and the companies that talk about what you care about.
How it works
- Each value's rank is the number of pairwise choices it won. Every value meets each of the others exactly once, so the win count shows a clear favourite as well as a close finish.
- Company alignment links each company's published values to related personal values. A match with your top 3 scores 3 points, ranks 4 and 5 score 2, and the rest of your top 10 score 1.
- The companies are Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Berkshire Hathaway, Tesla, TSMC and Visa, and you can filter them by industry.
Questions
Is my progress saved? Yes, in your browser on this device, so you can close the tab and pick up where you left off. Nothing is uploaded.
Is this a psychological test? No. It is a structured reflection exercise, not a validated psychometric instrument. Company scores reflect what companies say they value, not what it is like to work there.
How should I read the company scores? As a starting point for research, not a verdict. They come from published values and mission statements: a high score means the company talks about things you care about. Whether it delivers on them is something only its employees and former employees can tell you.
