Personal values assessment: does your week show what matters?
Most leaders can tell you what they value. Fewer can say how much of last week actually went to it, and when the two drift apart for long enough, you can end up building a life you wouldn't have picked on purpose.
This personal values assessment takes about five minutes. You'll pick from a list of personal values, narrow it to your top five, then rate how much your last week reflected each one, and you'll see which value is getting crowded out and one thing to try this week.

Questions
What is a personal values assessment?
It's a way of getting clear on what matters most to you, and then checking that against how you actually spend your time. This one has three steps: pick from a list of personal values, narrow it to your top five, and rate how much your last week reflected each one.
How do I find my core values?
Start with a list and pick the ones you'd be upset to lose. Then narrow it down, because choosing between two values you care about tells you more than either one does on its own. Your calendar is the other half of the answer, since it shows what you've actually been choosing.
Is this a psychological test?
No. It's a reflection tool for leaders. It isn't a validated measure and it doesn't assess your mental health. If you're struggling with your mental health, talk to your doctor or a registered mental health professional.
