What each value means, how it shows up at work and what your score implies for you.

70

Independence

High Score

Higher than 58% of people who took the test

Freedom and autonomy are your top priorities at work. You want to decide for yourself how, when, and where you work. Creative freedom, minimal supervision, and flexibility matter more to you than a higher salary or prestige.

In relationships

Your need for independence can also manifest in relationships - you need personal space and time for yourself. Your partner should respect your need for autonomy. In team relationships, you prefer looser collaboration over rigid hierarchy.

At work

Your ideal work involves flexible hours, remote work options, and minimal micromanagement. You excel as freelancers, entrepreneurs, or in roles with a high degree of autonomy. Detailed oversight demotivates you.
