Values are the Compass in the Journey of our Lives
They are the very heart of meaning, fulfillment, and purpose for humans.
What really matters to you, deep in your heart? What are the most important parts of life?
What do you want to do with your finite time on this planet? What do you want your life to stand for?
What sort of person do you want to be? What personal strengths or qualities do you want to develop?
Essentially: What do you want your life to be about? What makes life good, meaningful, and worth living?
The Personal Values Sort is intended to help you clarify your values and consider how those values are reflected in your daily life.
Before we begin, we just need a few details:
Please choose at least values that are most important to you.
Now, please choose your top values.

Dr. Miller is the co-founder of Motivational Interviewing, an evidence-based therapeutic approach to behavior change.
