Some things are important to realize in your life. People who talk about their job often mention values that are specifically related to the job they are doing. For example: a teacher will probably mention supporting young people in their development as one of his or her core values.

Open this exercise and rate all values with a score between 1 and 5 (1 = very important, 5 = least important). Afterwards, answer the questions below and write down the answers for yourself.

Which 5 values are most important to you? Can you indicate why?
Are there any values you noted down that are or might be contradictory?
What are the possible consequences of these values? Think for example of the way you divide your time between work and private life, and the consequences for your income or career. (Where are your boundaries?)
