Core Values

  • Stimulation

    You crave experiences that make you feel alive—adventure, new challenges, and a life that keeps you on your toes. Routine feels stifling; you thrive when pushing boundaries, exploring the unknown, and embracing the thrill of change. This drive keeps you growing, but it can also push you toward risks or restlessness if unchecked.

  • Benevolence

    You genuinely care about the people close to you—their happiness, trust, and well-being matter deeply. You’re the kind of person others rely on: loyal, compassionate, and willing to put others first. This warmth builds strong relationships, though sometimes you might neglect your own needs in the process.

  • Universalism

    You see the bigger picture—fairness, justice, and harmony for all people and the planet matter to you. You advocate for equality, protect nature, and believe in kindness beyond borders. This perspective can inspire others, but it may also lead to frustration when the world falls short of your ideals.

  • Achievement

    You’re driven to prove yourself—success, competence, and recognition fuel you. You set high goals and push to excel, often measuring yourself against societal standards. While this ambition brings accomplishment, it can also create pressure to constantly ‘measure up’ in others’ eyes.

  • Conformity

    You value harmony and respect for social norms—you avoid upsetting others and prioritize being polite, obedient, or disciplined. This makes you reliable and considerate, but it might also mean suppressing your true feelings or desires to keep the peace.

  • Self-Direction

    You need freedom to think and act on your own terms. Creativity, curiosity, and independence define you—you resist being boxed in. While this fuels originality, it can clash with expectations or make collaboration harder when others prefer structure.

  • Hedonism

    You believe life should be enjoyed to the fullest—pleasure, joy, and indulgence are priorities. You savor moments, chase excitement, and reject guilt over self-gratification. But balancing this with long-term goals or others’ needs can sometimes be a struggle.

  • Tradition

    You find meaning in customs, faith, or time-honored values passed down through generations. Respect for history, humility, and moderation guide you. This roots you in stability, but it may also make adapting to change or new ideas harder.

  • Power

    You’re motivated by influence—status, control, and resources matter to you. You want to lead, impress, or secure your position. This drive can bring success, but if overemphasized, it may strain relationships or feel hollow without deeper purpose.

  • Security

    Safety and stability are your foundations—whether for yourself, loved ones, or society. You prepare for risks, value order, and seek trust in relationships. While this creates comfort, too much focus on security might hold you back from taking needed risks.

Communication Styles

  • Passive Communication

    Passive communication involves avoiding expressing one's own opinions, needs, or values, often prioritizing others'. For example, a passive communicator might stay silent when hurt by a broken promise, fearing confrontation or hoping their partner just "knows." Over time, unexpressed frustrations build up, leading to emotional outbursts.

    This cycle is like a pressure cooker—suppressed feelings (pressure) grow until they explode. Afterward, guilt often drives them back into silence, repeating the pattern.

    Passive communicators often avoid conflicts and may not express their true feelings or desires, leading to unmet needs and potential resentment. This style is characterized by a tendency to acquiesce to others’ decisions without stating one’s own preferences​.

  • Aggressive Communication

    Aggressive communicators are very comfortable expressing their needs, values, and opinions. Often times, they might struggle to see the needs, values, and opinions of others. For example, if an aggressive communicator was upset because their partner broke a promise, they might yell, blame, or criticize them and interrupt their partner when they attempt to speak. This kind of communication can also include different types of abuse (verbal, physical, etc.). 

    Aggressive communicators tend to dominate conversations and may express their opinions in a way that invalidates or ignores others’ feelings. This style is often confrontational and can create feelings of intimidation or resentment in others​​.

  • Passive-Aggressive Communication

    Passive-aggressive communication combines passive and aggressive traits, where the communicator appears calm but expresses anger indirectly—such as claiming to be "fine" while using sarcasm or "forgetting" to respond. This behavior often arises from resentment or an aversion to direct confrontation.

    Rather than voicing their feelings openly, individuals using this style convey dissatisfaction through subtle tactics like backhanded remarks or withdrawal. The lack of clarity can create confusion, leaving conflicts unresolved as true emotions remain hidden.

  • Assertive Communication

    Assertive communication means expressing your needs clearly while respecting others'. Unlike aggression, it balances honesty with empathy. For example, if hurt by a broken promise, an assertive person might say, "I felt hurt when you broke your promise, and I’d like us to keep commitments in the future." They listen to the other’s perspective without demanding their way. Assertiveness values clarity and mutual respect.

    Assertive communicators clearly and respectfully express their needs and feelings without undermining others. This style fosters mutual respect and open dialogue, contributing to healthier and more fulfilling relationships​.
