As you can see, the value most important to you is Helping Others
For you, work must serve a greater purpose than just the individual benefit you might gain from it. Instead, you have an altruistic outlook and want your work to benefit society in some way. It is important to you that your job helps make the world a better place and that you can help in some way. As a result, you also value the personal relationships you can foster in your work.
Even if you haven't yet achieved your desire to help others as much as you would like to, you continue to make work decisions based on this goal. Ultimately, you hope to be able to say that you contributed to society via your work, an achievement that will no doubt fill you with pride.
How Do You Compare?
Knowing how others score can give you perspective on how your values relate to the rest of the working world.
It might surprise you to learn that people are far more interested in Personal Growth and Helping Others than they are in making money. Here are the percentage of people who ranked each value as a top priority.
Another interesting piece of information is the discrepancy between men and women when it comes to the value of Achievement. Specifically, 22% of men rank Achievement as their top priority, while just 12% of women do.
What about the other values? How important are they to you? In the following section, you will find all of JASPER's work values ordered from your most to least important.
Balance ( 9 )
Your high score indicates that Balance is an important value for you. For you, work should be flexible enough not to interfere with your personal life, and it should allow you some freedom to pursue outside interests. It's important for you not to be overworked or over-stressed, and you don't want a job that will compromise your relationships, your health, or your extracurricular pursuits.
Personal Growth ( 7 )
Your high score indicates that Personal Growth is an important value to you. For you, work should be one of the main ways you experience new and exciting challenges. More than just a job, you believe that work should provide the freedom to use your talents and the opportunity to find personal meaning.
Achievement ( 6 )
Your score indicates that Achievement is of moderate importance to you. While you may be determined to achieve as much as you can in whatever you do, it is probably not too important for you to reach a level of expert-status or be considered a pioneer in your field. Instead, you are driven to achieve simply for its intrinsic rewards and not necessarily for the external acclaim.
Security ( 5 )
Your score indicates that Security is of moderate importance to you. While you no doubt prefer to know that your job is safe, you don't necessarily make career decisions based on it. Instead, you simply enjoy the consistency and stability of a secure environment, and like few unknowns to pop up along the way.
Financial Success ( 2 )
Your score speaks to the fact that monetary rewards are not too important to you. While you may still desire financial security, you are not simply motivated by the prospect of affluence nor do you make work decisions based on it.
It's important to remember that your values change over time and as you enter different phases of life. As you age and grow, what was once important early in your career may be replaced by something completely different. For example, if you have children, you may value Balance more than Achievement.
