Recently a friend told me that values are important to relationship success. I met a business person the same day who claimed knowing his values got him to where he is as a social entrepreneur. Long ago, my psychiatrist asked me about my values, and I didn't know. Psychologist have tried to help me know my values on several occasions but I forget.

Just now I looked up how to find my values and found this article

Since their technique isn't any good for me since my memory is shoddy, I just selected from the list of values. Hope I haven't unconsciously chose socially desirable options.

Grouped by theme after choosing, I chose:

leadership::

  • boldness
  • legacy
  • uniqueness
  • vision
  • empathy (and the lack thereof, 'ruthlessness')

rationality:

  • accuracy
  • prudence
  • intelligence
  • efficiency
  • truth-seeking
  • temperance
