"From the values you selected it is clear that you are a person for whom meaning is important. You have a
strong set of moral standards which are important in how you treat others and how you wish to be
treated.
Your values show:
· You are true to yourself and your principles while being receptive to the ideas of others.
· You demonstrate dedication in all that you do.
· You show a strong sense of caring and feel empathy for others.
· You have the strength to face your fears and to speak up even when things may be difficult.
· Having meaningful close relationships with others is important in your life.
· You have a fun-loving approach to life and enjoy sharing good times.
· You seek opportunities to constantly develop and learn from your experiences.
· You strive to show consideration to others and want to feel that this same courtesy is extended to you.
The type of values you selected indicates that your individual capabilities and the connections you build with
others are both important to you.
Understanding our values helps us better understand ourselves and why we may act or react in the way that
we do. For example, if someone undermines one of your values it can result in feelings of hurt; you would be
likely to feel upset if your value of "commitment" was not being honoured by someone else. Similarly, if you
make a decision which goes against one of your values this may lead you to feel uneasy or unsettled about the
decision, because you are not being true to yourself.
You have selected one value which might be classed as potentially limiting or fear based:
Control: A desire for control may illustrate an underlying fear or lack of trust. It can also indicate a need for
power over others and can inhibit relationships.
To what extent do you think that this affects the decisions you make and how others see you?"
