Values Hierarchy
Your personal ranking of what matters most: security, freedom, creativity, family, achievement, helping others. Values conflicts cause the deepest career dissatisfaction.
A values hierarchy is your internal priority system. Schwartz's Theory (1992) identifies 10 universal values on two axes: Openness to Change vs. Conservation, Self-Enhancement vs. Self-Transcendence.
Big Five predicts values: high Openness → values stimulation and self-direction; high Agreeableness → values benevolence. Career dissatisfaction is most often a values mismatch, not a skills mismatch.
The Values Assessment helps identify your hierarchy so you can evaluate career options against what actually matters to you — not what pays the most.
