Values Clarification Assessment
The Values Clarification assessment consists of sixty (60) values/importance statements. You conduct the assessment by reading each statement and ranking it according to its importance to you at this time.
Introduction
Values and guiding principles are at the very root and base of your belief system. Your Values Clarification is the aggregate expressed in your behavior, attitude, relationships, and goals you believe are important.
How important you consider the value to be, arises from the influence of a number of sources: parents, peers, organizations to which you belong, logic, emotions, and observations. Your values are developed over a lifetime of experiences or may be affected by your immediate situation.
What is important to you? What do you value above all else? Like most people, you spend considerable time in the workplace. What kind of working environment is worth so much of your valuable talent and time? Do you know? When was the last time you clarified and prioritized your values?
Groups as well as individuals, tend to develop sets of values. An organization’s values can be influenced by a number of factors, including the values of the founder, the priorities expressed by leadership, the examples set by those in charge, shifts in age, diversity and gender distribution and external factors such as competition and customer buyer values.
People often sense a good fit when their own values are amiable with an organization’s collective values. You will be most comfortable when there is a match among what is expected of you, what you do, your values, and the values of those around you.
“Values exploration is not a one-time event but a continuing process in which people look at what is important and how that importance is expressed in action.” (Jaffe & Scott, 1998)
