I took Barrett Values‘ Personal Values Assessment. One of their suggestions was that I share my results with my partner, family, and friends. I’m not sure if I have a partner(s) (that has recently become confusing) I’m left with family and friends. I think I can cover both of those by sharing my results here.
Here are the results.
“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:
1. Living with a passionate and an upbeat, fun-loving approach are important to you.
2. You are able to think imaginatively and are not afraid to take a chance on opportunities to use your skills to produce new ideas.
3. You show a strong sense of caring and feel empathy for others.
4. Seeking new opportunities to develop and grow keeps you consistently challenged.
5. Strong moral standards guide your life and your decisions.
6. Remaining in control of your finances and ensuring that you are not over-stretched provide you with comfort.
7. You strive to show consideration to others and want to feel that this same courtesy is extended to you.
8. You seek holistic balance by striving to maintain harmony in all aspects of your life.
The type of values you selected indicates that your individual capabilities are most 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 creativity was not being honored 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.”
If you’re interested in exploring your values go the Barrett Values Centre web site and take the free Personal Values Assessment. It only takes a few minutes. If you take it we can compare results. Or not. That is up to you.
I thought my results were close and they should be since they are based on how I think I am now and not on how I wish I was. lol Do you think they got me right?
After the results there some exercises to do. I’ll try some of those and see what they are like.
See what else I’m doing.

I like to always spend less than my income. When I was young I had a misadventure with credit cards. It made a lasting impression. lol

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. You seek to uncover more of your authentic self by looking to develop and grow. You are
starting to overcome your anxieties and fears. Your values show:
Your ability to think imaginatively and come up with new ideas helps you to be flexible and
respond well to change.
Demonstrating an upbeat, passionate approach supports your efforts to make positive change
for others.
You have a fun-loving approach to life and enjoy sharing good times with those closest to you.
You seek to expand your knowledge and insights and are willing to reflect on your inner
development.
You are protective and considerate of others.
You are dependable and you want others to know that they can count on you.
The type of values you selected indicates that your individual capabilities are most important to you.
From your choice of values you also demonstrate care for the greater good (making a difference).
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 adaptability was not being honored 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.

Cool. Thanks for sharing. You’re values seem to fit you from what I know. Do you think they fit?
Your three and my one are similar. Same for my two and your one. Your five and my seven are alike.
What do you think?
Jan 23, 2014 @ 19:08:05
i think i’m reflected in there and i agree we had some overlapping on our results- that really doesn’t surprise me. thanks for sharing this. it was very interesting.
Jan 23, 2014 @ 20:01:48
You’re welcome. It’s doesn’t surprise me that we have overlaps either.

I don’t know you well, but from I do know these fit you. Thank you for sharing.
Feb 02, 2014 @ 22:54:52
There’s a lot to think about in my results from this test. Did anyone else have any negative results after the initial positive list of values?
Feb 02, 2014 @ 23:19:33
Sarah, I didn’t have any negative ones listed, but I’m thinking that I must have not been honest, subconsciously. everyone would have some negatives, it would seem. or we would be the Buddha.
Feb 03, 2014 @ 04:24:43
I had I that I felt was negative.
Feb 03, 2014 @ 04:26:25
I agree with John. I also think if I’d done this survey on a day when I was feeling down instead of upbeat my results would have been different.
