Your scores across five career value dimensions.
Each dimension is a scale between two poles. The marker shows where you are.
Your score vs. population average (50%). Dimensions above 50% are above average.
What your scores in individual dimensions mean.
Achievement and growth matter to you, but not at any cost. You can appreciate progress without needing to constantly push boundaries. You seek balance between ambition and satisfaction with what you have accomplished.
Independence is important to you, but you can also function in a structured environment. You appreciate flexibility but don't need absolute freedom. You seek balance between autonomy and teamwork.
Security is important to you, but you're willing to accept some degree of risk for interesting opportunities. You seek balance between stability and new challenges.
Relationships and helping others are important to you, but you don't see them as your only motivation. You appreciate a pleasant work environment and meaningful work, but can also function in less social roles.
Influence and recognition are pleasant for you, but not essential. You can work without constant feedback and don't need to be in a leadership position at all costs. However, you do value recognition from colleagues.

How your career values affect relationships with others.
Your ambition can inspire your partner and friends, but sometimes creates pressure. People around you may feel that "nothing is ever enough." Communicate that your ambitions are personal and you don't expect the same level of drive from others.
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.
Your orientation toward stability brings a sense of security to relationships. You are a reliable partner who plans for the future and thinks about providing for the family. Those close to you appreciate that they can count on you.
Your focus on relationships makes you an exceptional partner and friend. You naturally care for those close to you and create a harmonious environment. But watch out for the tendency to give too much at your own expense.
Your natural tendency to lead and make decisions can also carry over into relationships. Your partner should be someone who respects your need for influence but can also set boundaries. In teams, you naturally take on the leadership role.
What work environment suits you and how your values manifest at work.
At work, you constantly seek new challenges and opportunities for growth. You prefer environments with a clear career ladder, mentoring programs, and opportunities for professional development. Stagnation demotivates you faster than anything else.

Ideal environment: Management positions, project leadership, entrepreneurship, politics, consulting
How your career values reinforce or limit each other.
