WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Cultural and Value Orientations Test

Cultural and Value Orientations Test - Symptoms and Signs

This brief self-report measure is intended to screen for salient cultural and value priorities within a group or community context. Cultural and Value Orientations can be used to summarize respondents’ dominant value emphases to inform discussion, consultation, or preliminary assessment in applied settings.

The instrument consists of 5 items and typically requires about 1 minutes to complete. Item responses are interpreted descriptively to highlight relative orientations and potential implications for norms, decision-making, and interpersonal behavior. Cultural and Value Orientations is commonly referenced alongside value theory work by Shalom H. Schwartz and Milton Rokeach.
