What is the Values Assessment?
The Values Assessment is JobCannon's own work-values instrument. It maps ten values that shape working life — Achievement, Autonomy, Creativity, Security, Altruism, Recognition, Relationships, Learning, Work-Life Balance and Impact — by making you choose between them instead of rating each one on its own. Each of the 30 questions puts four things people genuinely want in front of you and lets you keep only one, so what comes back is a ranking of what you trade away when you cannot have everything.

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.
Because every question forces a choice, the revealing part of your result is not which values you endorse — nearly everyone endorses all ten — but which ones you let go to keep the others. Achievement and Work-Life Balance are set against each other in 28 of the 30 questions, so your ranking on those two is decided many times over. Creativity and Security compete in 13 questions, Altruism and Recognition in 11, Autonomy and Security in 9. Where you land is the sum of thirty small refusals rather than a single declaration, which is why the profile often disagrees with the values people say they hold.
