Comparative Value Indices Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief self-report measure is used to characterize relative patterns in personal values and preferences. Comparative Value Indices can support clinical formulation, psychoeducational consultation, or research by providing a structured snapshot of value priorities and their comparative salience (Rokeach; Schwartz).
The instrument includes 25 items and typically requires about 5 minutes to complete. Comparative Value Indices results are interpreted in context of the referral question and other assessment data, and they are not intended to serve as a stand-alone diagnostic indicator.
