Czym jest Values Assessment?

The Values Assessment is based on Shalom Schwartz's Theory of Basic Human Values, one of the most widely researched frameworks in cross-cultural psychology. It identifies 10 universal value types organized in a circular structure where adjacent values are compatible and opposing values create tension.

Understanding your core values is essential for making aligned career and life decisions. When your work matches your values, you experience greater satisfaction, motivation, and meaning. When there's a mismatch, you feel drained and unfulfilled, regardless of salary or status. JobCannon's 30-question assessment maps your personal value hierarchy and shows how it connects to career choices, workplace culture fit, and life priorities.

Schwartz's ten values collapse into two higher-order tensions that explain a lot about what pulls you in different directions. The first is Openness to Change (self-direction, stimulation) versus Conservation (security, conformity, tradition), novelty and independence against stability and order. The second is Self-Enhancement (achievement, power) versus Self-Transcendence (benevolence, universalism), pursuing your own success against caring for others and the wider world. Because the values sit on a circle, strengthening one side naturally pulls against its opposite, which is why no one can max out everything at once and why your particular trade-offs are so revealing.

  • Shalom Schwartz identified 10 universal value types, including self-direction, achievement, benevolence, and security, validated across 80+ countries. These values form a circular continuum where some values naturally support each other while others are in opposition.

  • They are Self-Direction (independence), Stimulation (novelty and excitement), Hedonism (pleasure), Achievement (success), Power (status and control), Security (safety and stability), Conformity (following rules), Tradition (respect for customs), Benevolence (caring for your in-group), and Universalism (concern for all people and nature). Most people rank several highly and a few low, the pattern is what matters, not any single value.

  • The ten values arrange into two opposing axes. Openness to Change (self-direction, stimulation) sits opposite Conservation (security, conformity, tradition). Self-Enhancement (power, achievement) sits opposite Self-Transcendence (benevolence, universalism). Where you land on these two axes is a compact summary of what you prioritise, for instance, an Openness + Self-Transcendence profile often fits mission-driven, autonomous roles.

  • Research shows that value-career alignment is one of the strongest predictors of long-term job satisfaction. People who work in environments that match their core values report higher engagement, lower burnout, and greater sense of purpose.

  • Interests (measured by RIASEC) are what you enjoy doing; personality (Big Five) is how you characteristically think and behave; values are what you believe is important and worth pursuing. You can be interested in a field, suited to it by temperament, and still feel hollow if it violates your values. That's why pairing this with RIASEC and the Big Five gives the fullest career picture.

  • Your core value hierarchy is fairly stable, but it shifts gradually with life stage and major experiences, people often move toward Conservation and Self-Transcendence as they age, take on responsibility, or have children. A values check-in every few years can reveal whether your current work still matches who you've become.

  • Yes, completely free. You get your full value profile, career alignment insights, and workplace culture recommendations, no payment or signup required to see your results.
