Values Institute

The Values App

Discover your values. Then bring them to life.

The Values App starts with a research-backed assessment that reveals your top five values in about three minutes — free, no sign-up required. Then it keeps going: a few more questions unlock your archetype, well-being insights and a personal dashboard, with a course and tools to help you close the gap between knowing and living.

How the assessment works

A values test built on trade-offs, not self-ratings

01

Answer the questions

A few minutes of guided trade-offs drawn from a proven values framework — you choose between values, one pair at a time. No sign-up required.

02

Reveal your top values

See the handful of values that matter most to you, and learn how to bring each one to life.

03

Explore your Dashboard

Your results live in a personal dashboard: your Values Story book, your archetype, your well-being read, and tools to compare values with people you care about.

What you'll discover

Discovering your values is important. Understanding how they shape you is what changes things.

Your archetype

The pattern your values form — and how people like you tend to navigate the world.

Your motivation style

Different clusters of values energize or drain people in different ways. Learn what moves you.

Well-being insights

A read across nine well-being factors, interpreted against your values. Values without well-being can lead to burnout.

Daily alignment

Small, specific habit suggestions that turn your values from an idea into a practice.

Eight archetypes, eight characters

Your archetype is a lens on how your values tend to show up: not a label, and not the whole of you. Every archetype has its own illustrated character.

The Explorer archetype characterexplorer
The Sage archetype charactersage
The Guardian archetype characterguardian
The Creator archetype charactercreator
The Connector archetype characterconnector
The Harmonizer archetype characterharmonizer
The Leader archetype characterleader
