8 Work Values

Interests tell you what kind of work you enjoy. Values tell you what kind of work will actually satisfy you long-term. Both matter.

We use forced-choice triads — you must rank three values in each group. This eliminates social desirability bias and reveals what you actually prioritize when you can't have everything.

Autonomy

Freedom to work independently

Compensation

Earning potential & financial reward

Stability

Job security & predictable environment

Impact

Making a meaningful difference

Prestige

Recognition & status in your field

Variety

Diverse tasks & new challenges

Collaboration

Working closely with others

Mastery

Becoming an expert in your domain

Example Value Triad

Rank these from most to least important to you in a career:

1

Autonomy

Freedom to direct my own work

2

Impact

Work that makes a difference

3

Prestige

Status and recognition

Data from O*NET OnLine — 923 occupations scored

923 career matches, scored against your profile

Every occupation in the O*NET database — maintained by the U.S. Department of Labor — is scored against your interest and value profile. You see match percentages, not vague suggestions.

Each occupation has a SOC-code-based interest profile matched against your 6 dimension scores

Your work values further refine the ranking — same interests, different values, different top careers

Each match links directly to O*NET for salary data, job outlook, required skills, and more

If you select your college major, careers your major commonly feeds into are tagged — and your major's Y1/Y5/Y10 earnings trajectory (U.S. Census PSEO data) appears on your results
