  22. LIFE VALUES “Cheshire Puss”, asked Alice, “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” “That depends a good deal on where you want to go,” said the Cat. “I don’t much care where,” said Alice. “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat. http://www.cvs.k12.mi.us/careers/pdfs/LIFE%20VALUES%20INVENTORY%205_01_08_1%20(2).pdf

  23. Why is it Important to Understand your Values? • Your values are made up of everything that has happened to you in your life and include influences from: your parents and family, your religious affiliation, your friends and peers, your education, your reading, and more. Effective people recognize these environmental influences and identify and develop a clear, concise, and meaningful set of values/beliefs, and priorities. Once defined, values impact every aspect of your life.

  24. Understand your Values Continued • You demonstrate and model your values in action in your personal and work behaviors, decision making, contribution, and interpersonal interaction. • You use your values to make decisions about priorities in your daily work and home life. • Your goals and life purpose are grounded in your values.

  25. To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.  This is to have succeeded!  Ralph Waldo Emerson Life values categories

  26. Independence Achievement Privacy Financial Prosperity Spirituality Concern for the Environment Responsibility Humility Creativity Belonging Scientific Understanding Concern for Others Loyalty to family or group Health & Activity

  27. “Learning without reflection is a waste, reflection without learning is dangerous.” – Confucius Reflective Questions

  28. To what extent do these results describe you? (Were the results an accurate portrait of you?) Why or why not? Provide evidence using information from your learning experiences and the descriptors of the 6personality types. Were there any surprises? Give details. • To what extent were you surprised regarding the number of values the inventory asked about? • Do your two inventory results support one another in the area of values (Holland Inventory under Characteristics lists a value associated with the personality type)? If there was a difference, what could explain this? If they were compatible, do you agree?

  29. List your three top categories from the Holland Inventory (use the first initial…RIC, SAE, etc.) AND list at least five careers that interest you. Where do your top 3 values show themselves in your schooling, and your relationships with family, friends and community. What was the most significant thing you learned about yourself from completing these inventories?
