What Is the V.I.C.?

A Clearer View of
What Matters Most.

The Values Identity Constellation is a brief assessment designed to show you the values shaping your life. Rather than labeling your personality, it maps six dimensions of meaning and reveals how strongly each one is present for you right now.

Values do more than describe you. They influence how you make decisions, where you find purpose, and how connected you feel to your life. The V.I.C. turns that into something you can actually use.

You will receive a typology, a dimension breakdown, personalized feedback, and examples from history and literature — figures whose value patterns echo yours.

How It Works

Three Steps.
One Clear Picture.

01

Rate Your Values

Rate six value dimensions — Giver, Self-Actualizer, Adventurer, Achiever, Traditionalist, and Guardian — on a 1–5 scale. There are no right or wrong answers; only honest ones.

02

Share Your Wellbeing

Five questions about your sense of purpose, flourishing, emotional regulation, and recent mood. This allows feedback that reflects your whole picture — not just your values in the abstract.

03

Receive Your Profile

Your radar chart, typology, dimension breakdown, personalized narrative, and three carefully selected figures from history and literature whose patterns most closely echo yours.


The Six Dimensions

Every Life Is a Blend

The V.I.C. measures six core dimensions that together cover the full landscape of what human beings find meaningful. Your profile is the unique pattern of how strongly each one lives in you.

🤝
Giver

You value helping others, showing kindness, and contributing to society. Your deepest satisfaction comes from service and care — from making others feel less alone.

Often reflected in: Fred Rogers, Harriet Tubman, Samwise Gamgee
🌱
Self-Actualizer

You are a seeker — using your will and creative spirit on the path to personal growth. Becoming more fully yourself is not a hobby; it is a calling.

Often reflected in: Leonardo da Vinci, Frida Kahlo, George Eliot
🧭
Adventurer

You pursue excitement, novelty, and stimulating experiences. Life is something to be tasted fully — and purposeful living does not have to mean serious living.

Often reflected in: Amelia Earhart, Odysseus, Alexandra David-Néel
🏆
Achiever

Results, mastery, and measurable progress define your energy. You are animated by the deep satisfaction of doing something excellently.

Often reflected in: Marie Curie, Malala Yousafzai, Michael Jordan
Traditionalist

You honor established customs, spiritual beliefs, and time-tested ways of living. The deepest truths were not discovered recently — they were inherited, refined, and passed forward.

Often reflected in: Marcus Aurelius, Toni Morrison, Atticus Finch
🛡️
Guardian

Family bonds, personal security, and caring for those closest to you are your foundation. Your love is expressed through commitment and enduring loyalty.

Often reflected in: Nelson Mandela, Eleanor Roosevelt, Oskar Schindler

How It Was Built

Grounded in Research.
Built for Clarity.

The Values Identity Constellation translates decades of research on meaning, purpose, and wellbeing into a practical tool for self-understanding. Its six dimensions reflect what the literature consistently identifies as the core domains of human motivation and fulfillment.

Its scoring draws on a nationally representative study of over a thousand Americans across generations. The comparison data behind your radar chart reflects that sample, segmented by your age group and gender for more meaningful context.

The feedback is honest — calibrated to where you actually are, not where you would like to be. Comparison figures are selected for how closely they match your full profile, not just your dominant dimension.

  • Six value dimensions derived from research on meaning, motivation, and purpose.
  • Values engagement — how strongly values guide your decisions — predicts purpose and flourishing.
  • Results combine dimension ratings with wellbeing inputs for more grounded feedback.
  • Comparison figures are scored against your full profile and the top 3 are shown.
  • Your generation and gender shift the comparison baseline for your radar chart.
  • Depression and emotional state are considered when selecting relevant figures.

Step 2 of 3

Your Wellbeing

Five questions about your wellbeing and emotional life — to give your feedback the context it needs to be genuinely useful.

I have a clear sense of purpose that gives meaning to my daily life.
Overall, I would say I am flourishing — doing well across the important areas of my life.
When something upsetting happens, I can usually manage my emotional response without it overwhelming me.

The following two questions ask about the past two weeks:

How often have you felt down, depressed, or hopeless?
How often have you felt nervous, anxious, or on edge?
