Analysis

The Values, Preferences, and Personal Qualities Inventory is an assessment tool used to record and analyze an individual’s values, preferences, and personal qualities. This tool helps in understanding the criteria that guide a person’s behavior and decisions, providing valuable information for personal development, decision-making, and career guidance.

Purpose

The purpose of the inventory is to provide a comprehensive picture of the criteria that influence an individual’s decisions and behavior. This can enhance self-awareness, guide career and professional goal choices, and identify areas that require personal development.

Calibration

Calibration usually involves the use of questionnaires that record an individual’s values, preferences, and qualities. The questions may take the form of a Likert scale or other types of self-assessment.
