Personal Values Checklist, by Charlotte Roberts, from the Fifth Discipline Fieldbook, <http://www.uwec.edu/counsel/pubs/pvcheck.htm>

From this list of values (both work and personal), select the ten that are most important to you -- as guides for how to behave, or as components of a valued way of life.


Okay, I have 12. I'm not a very decimal person. ;-)

Close relationships
Honesty
Cooperation
Pleasure
Self-respect

Wisdom
Ecological awareness
Creativity
Responsibility and accountability
Job tranquility

Time freedom
Meaningful work

Now that you have identified ten, imagine that you are only permitted to have five values. Which five would you give up? Cross them off.


Eeek! Even with six rather than five I'm torn.

Close relationships
Pleasure
Time freedom
Ecological awareness
Creativity
Self-respect


Now imagine that you are only permitted four. Which would you give up? Cross it off.


Okay, I admit I'm not introspective, can I quit now!

Close relationships
Time freedom
Creativity
Self-respect

Now cross off another, to bring our list down to three.


Close relationships
Creativity
Self-respect

And another, to bring our list down to two.

Finally cross off one of your two values. Which is the one item on the lst that you care most about?
