Career Values Assessment

Values are things that are most important to you - in your life and career. They are things you strongly about. For example, some people value job security, making money, structure and a regular schedule. Others value flexibility, variety, creativity, and independence without regard for how much money they make. Being aware of your values is important. A career choice based on your values is more likely to be better than one based on other people's recommendations.

Following is a list of 88 values. Using the scale indicate how important each value is to you.
