    LIFE VALUES INVENTORY

    An Assessment of Values that guides behavior and Decision making

    SECTION I

    Values are beliefs that influence people’s behavior and decision-making. For example, if people believe
    that telling the truth is very important, they will try to be truthful when they deal with other people.

    On the following pages is a list of beliefs that guides people’s behavior ad helps them make important
    decisions. Read each one and then choose the response (1-5) that best describes how often the belief guides
    your behavior.

    Almost Never Sometimes Almost Always

    1. Being healthy 1 2 3 4 5

    If a belief in being healthy almost never guides your behavior, circle 1. If being healthy almost always
    guides your behavior, circle 5. If the bet answer for you is between 1 and 5, circle the number 2,3, or 4 that most
    accurately describes how this belief guides your behavior.

    Now you are ready to begin. Read each item carefully and circle only one response. Usually your first
    idea is the best indicator of how you feel. Answer every item. There are no right or wrong answers. Your choices
    should describe your own values, not the values of others.
