About the method

Values are the deep beliefs about what matters most in life. They guide our choices, our careers and our relationships — often without us noticing.

One of the best-known models of human values was developed by the Israeli psychologist Shalom Schwartz from the late 1980s onward. Studying people in dozens of countries, he found a similar set of basic values everywhere, arranged in a circle: values next to each other (like security and tradition) go together, while opposite ones (like security and adventure) pull in different directions.

This test groups those ideas into six easy-to-understand values: Achievement, Security, Freedom, Adventure, Kindness and Fairness. It combines importance ratings with ranking questions, because choosing between good things often reveals what matters most.

All 28 questions were written for TestMyPsyche. There are no good or bad values — this test is for self-reflection and fun.

Frequently asked questions

What are personal values?

Personal values are the things you believe are most important in life — like freedom, security or kindness. They shape your decisions and what makes you feel fulfilled.

Why are there ranking questions?

Most people rate many values as important. Putting options in order makes you choose, which reveals your true priorities.

Can my values change?

Your core values are fairly stable, but their order can shift with life stages — for example, security often becomes more important when starting a family.

How can I use my results?

Use them when making big choices, like picking a job or a partner, or when something feels 'off' — it may be clashing with a core value.

How long does it take?

About 6 minutes for 24 ratings and 4 short ranking questions.
