WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Modified Inglehart Values Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

cultural values

The Modified Inglehart Values Questionnaire is a brief self-report measure designed to characterize an individual’s value priorities and the way those priorities are organized. Based on the work of Ronald Inglehart, it is commonly used to summarize broad value orientations in a structured format.

The instrument includes 14 items and takes about 3 minutes to complete. Responses are typically interpreted to describe relative emphasis across general value domains (e.g., stability and security, social approval and belonging, and autonomy and personal growth), which may be informative in clinical formulation when value conflicts or goal alignment are clinically relevant, and in research settings focused on value patterns.

Results from the Modified Inglehart Values Questionnaire should be integrated with clinical interview findings and other assessment data; it is not intended to serve as a stand-alone diagnostic tool.
