Steps to Complete the Work Values Analyzer

This is not a test and you can take your time. Review all the cards first, using the arrow buttons to move forward or backward. When you have reviewed the final card, the Begin the Values Analyzer button displays.
Select the Begin the Values Analyzer button.
Sort each card according to your preferences using the following rankings: Most Important, Very Important, Moderate Important, Important, or Least Important.
- The order of cards within each column does not matter.
- Each column contains up to four card selections, so choose carefully.
- To restart the process and return to the initial Work Values Analyzer page, select the Reset Cards button.
You can sort your cards in two ways:
- Drag and drop the card into the appropriate column.
- Select one of the ranking buttons below the card to place it into a column.

After you sort a card, its text and number appear in the selected column.

After sorting all the cards, select the Next button to view your scores.
- To rearrange cards, select the x at the top of the card to remove it from a column . The card then returns to the top for sorting. Add it to the desired column using one of the methods in Step 4. If you have sorted all 20 cards, you will need to remove additional cards in order to make room for a card to move from one column to another. To start over, select the Reset Cards button.

What's the difference between a Work Interest and a Work Value?

Work interests are the types of tasks, subjects, or activities you enjoy doing at work, while work values are fundamental principles about what is important and meaningful in a job, like autonomy, security, or social responsibility.
