The Life Values Inventory Online is divided into 5 steps. Steps 1-3 take approximately 10 minutes to complete each step. Steps 4-5 provide information about your values and how to optimally express them.
The program is designed for your convenience so that you can work through it in one or multiple sittings. You can sign out at any time (even in the middle of a session) and when you return, you'll have the ability to resume where you left off.
The Life Values Inventory Online is intended to be comprehensive and thought-provoking. It's important to take the assessment with minimal distractions and when you don't feel rushed.
