WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Methodology for the Study of Value Orientations, MICO Test

Value Orientation Assessment Test

sport values

This instrument is designed to assess an individual’s relative prioritization of personal values across common life domains. The Value Orientation Assessment provides a structured way to examine value preferences that may inform motivation, decision-making, and interpersonal behavior. The approach is commonly used to support case formulation and discussion in counseling, coaching, and organizational settings.

The measure includes 60 items and typically takes about 11 minutes to complete. Responses are summarized to indicate which values are most strongly endorsed and which are less emphasized, supporting interpretation of value patterns rather than diagnosing psychopathology. As described by Milton Rokeach, the Value Orientation Assessment is generally interpreted in conjunction with clinical interview data and relevant contextual information.
