Work values

Twenty statements about what you want from work. Sort them into five columns of exactly four, from least to most important to you. This is an ipsative sort: putting a card in a high column forces others lower, so the result is an ordering inside you alone and cannot be compared with anyone else.

Cards per column

  • Least important: 0 / 4
  • Slightly important: 0 / 4
  • Important: 0 / 4
  • Very important: 0 / 4
  • Most important: 0 / 4
