Hierarchy of Values

Values are closely associated with our Belief System.

We always have things, circumstances, ideas … that we value.

And some we’ value more than others.

This could be seen as a hierarchy or order of values.

 

I invite you to play with this little app to reflect what your values are.

Be curious!

p.s. Please don’t take it all too serious please.

Its not about “who has the best values” or anything like that.

And the categories are very fluid, we could also name them differently.
Categories are not meant to be rigid boxes but simply recognition and differentiation of patterns of our psyche, our inner life. Thats what psychology is all about, isnt it?

 

I made those “games” specifically for a few of my clients who have a hard time to express clearly what is going on in their inner worlds. Because simply they still lack a vocabulary to say what is what. To differentiate and express the nuances.

This is the first aim:

Expand vocabulary for emotions, values, believes, qualities.

An by doing those games, reflect and come in contact with those qualities. And find out what kind of importance they have in your life.

We all have a hierarchy of values, mostly unconscious.

Those games are simple invitations to think about this things more actively than maybe just reading about it in a book.

  1. I find it hard to order values according to their ???? value? necessity? support of human life,? importance ???? is love worth more than……is freedom more important than……..I tried a kind of hierarchy and I am not content with this system. of course some values are more important to some people than to others, of course all values are not of the same importance to me, too. Still I don´t see values to be in competition with each other – reminds me of Trump and Kim Yong- Un -;(
