WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Axiological Orientation of Personality, AOP Test

Axiological Orientation of Personality Test

This measure is used to obtain a structured profile of an individual’s value priorities and the relative importance of key life domains. The Axiological Orientation of Personality is intended to support clinical formulation by clarifying personally meaningful goals, preferred standards, and areas of potential value conflict.

The instrument consists of 50 items and typically requires about 10 minutes to complete. It asks respondents to rate the personal significance of different values and life areas, capturing both endorsed priorities and those viewed as unacceptable or inconsistent with the person’s worldview.

Results from the Axiological Orientation of Personality can inform counseling or assessment by identifying value-driven motivations, decision-making preferences, and interpersonal or role-related tensions. The approach is conceptually aligned with value frameworks described by Milton Rokeach and Shalom H. Schwartz and is generally interpreted as part of a broader clinical picture rather than as a stand-alone diagnostic indicator.
