WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Hierarchy of Life Values Test

values

This measure is intended to clarify an individual’s current priorities across broad life domains. Hierarchy of Life Values is used to support values clarification and goal setting, and may inform counseling or career-related discussions.

The instrument, attributed to Shalom H. Schwartz, consists of 40 items and typically takes about 8 minutes to complete. Respondents rate the importance of different value domains, yielding a profile of relative priorities that can be reviewed clinically to guide discussion of motivation, decision-making, and areas of perceived conflict or balance.

Hierarchy of Life Values results should be interpreted in context (e.g., developmental stage, situational demands) and integrated with clinical interview and other assessment data rather than used as a standalone determinant of recommendations.
