The Values Index™ (VI) is the latest interpretation of the work of Dr. Eduard Spranger and Dr. Gordon Allport and their study of human value, motivation and drive. The VI is the most contemporary interpretation of these theories available on the market today. It brings with it many new and powerful features that differentiate it from other values-based instruments on the market and improve on lessons learned by its predecessors. Some of these refinements include: increased reliability & validity, an easier-to-use testing interface and expanded dimensions to separate two historically merged factors into unique pieces.
The VI helps people to better understand their unique value hierarchy or belief system pertaining to what motivates them, what they are most drawn to and where their passions lie. Such knowledge helps an individual become more effective in several key areas of their life, including but not limited to:
- Setting goals that are inspirational
- Creating roles that align well with motivations
- Job selection
- Performance management
This is the main summary graph of a Values Index:
As you can see, there are seven dimensions we measure:
- The Aesthetic Dimension: The main motivation in this value is the drive to achieve balance, harmony and find form or beauty. Environmental concerns or “green” initiatives are also typically prized by this dimension.
- The Economic Dimension: This dimension examines the motivation for security from economic gain, and to achieve practical returns. The preferred approach of this dimension is a professional one with a focus on bottom-line results.
- The Individualistic Dimension: The Individualistic dimensions deals with one's need to be seen as unique, independent, and to stand apart from the crowd. This is the drive to be socially independent and have opportunity for freedom of personal expression.
- The Political Dimension: This drive is to be seen as a leader, and to have influence and control over one's environment or success. Competitiveness is often associated with those scoring high in this motivation.
- The Altruistic Dimension: This drive is an expression of the need or drive to benefit others in a humanitarian sense. There is a genuine sincerity in this dimension to help others, give of one's time, resources and energy, in aid of others.
- The Regulatory Dimension: The Regulatory drive indicates one's drive to establish order, routine and structure. This motivation is to promote rules and policies, a traditional approach and security through standards and protocols.
- The Theoretical Dimension: The drive to understand, gain knowledge, or discover the “truth”. This motivation can often be to gain knowledge for knowledge sake. Rational thinking, reasoning and problem solving are important to this dimension.
