“To develop this test, we investigated what philosophers and psychologists have said about what humans fundamentally value, and then conducted two studies of our own, collecting and statistically analyzing the intrinsic values of 500 people in the U.S. Taking this test will help you:
1. Figure out your most important intrinsic values.
2. Discover what your unique intrinsic values say about you.
3. Understand why intrinsic values are so important.
An intrinsic value is something you value for its own sake.
Put another way, an intrinsic value is something you would still value even if you got absolutely nothing else from it. Sometimes intrinsic values are referred to as ‘terminal values,’ because they reflect the end points in our value system that all our other values are aiming at. Non-intrinsic values are sometimes called ‘instrumental values,’ because we only care about them as a means to achieve other ends.”

My top value: I have agency and can make choices for myself. Surprising no one.
