Assessment & Discovery Tools

From a broad list to five words you want to explore.

About This Tool

People use value words in different ways, and the words that matter can change with context, culture, roles, and time. This worksheet offers a broad vocabulary for noticing which ideas feel relevant now; it does not reveal hidden motives or measure whether you are living correctly.

Start with the broad list, narrow to words that feel relevant, and choose up to five to explore. The optional rating step is personal shorthand for where a value feels supported or constrained right now, not a score or validated measure.

How to Use This Reflection

  1. In Step 1, mark any words you want to explore. Skip words, add your own, or leave the page blank.
  2. In Step 2, narrow to up to ten words that feel useful in your current context. No fixed count is required.
  3. In Step 3, choose up to five words that feel most useful to explore now. Leave the section blank if none fit.
  4. In Step 4, use the optional personal scale only if helpful. Define the numbers yourself and leave uncertainty visible.
  5. Step 5 offers space for one optional, realistic action. Leave it blank if action is not useful now.
