What actually drives your decisions — read from how you make them.

A values personality test identifies the motivational values that guide your behavior and decision-making. Unlike trait-based tests (Big Five, MBTI), values tests reveal what you are trying to achieve — what goals, ideals, and principles motivate your choices. The most validated values framework in psychology is Schwartz Values Theory, which identifies ten universal human values that appear across cultures and predict how people prioritize decisions when values conflict.

Schwartz Values Theory, developed by social psychologist Shalom Schwartz, identifies ten universal human values: Self-direction, Stimulation, Hedonism, Achievement, Power, Security, Conformity, Tradition, Benevolence, and Universalism. The theory maps these values in a circular structure where adjacent values are compatible and opposing values create tension (e.g., Universalism and Power, or Self-direction and Conformity). Your values profile shows which values dominate your decision-making and how they interact.

The ten Schwartz values are: Self-direction (independence of thought and action), Stimulation (excitement, novelty, and challenge), Hedonism (pleasure and gratification), Achievement (personal success through competence), Power (social status and control over resources), Security (safety and stability), Conformity (restraint from actions that violate social norms), Tradition (respect for and commitment to cultural customs), Benevolence (welfare of people you are close to), and Universalism (understanding and protection of all people and nature).

Memrov reads your exported AI conversation history from ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and looks for patterns in where you spend cognitive energy. Achievement values show up in how often you frame things in terms of performance, success, and competence. Security values show up in how you approach risk and uncertainty. Universalism values show up in how often you consider broader social impact. Benevolence shows up in how you talk about people you care about. These patterns accumulate across hundreds of conversations to reveal your actual value hierarchy — not the one you aspire to.

Values alignment is one of the strongest predictors of career satisfaction, relationship compatibility, and personal coherence. When your life circumstances force you to act against your dominant values, you experience stress, conflict, and dissatisfaction even when you can't name why. Understanding your actual value hierarchy helps you make decisions that fit who you are, recognize which environments energize you versus drain you, and communicate more clearly about what you need in relationships and work.

Stated values are what people say they value when asked — typically socially desirable things like fairness, growth, and connection. Actual values are revealed by behavior: where you spend time, what you worry about, what decisions you struggle with, what energizes you. These often diverge significantly. Most people rate themselves high on Benevolence and Universalism in surveys, but their actual conversations reveal that Achievement or Security is far more dominant. Memrov reads the behavioral record, not the self-description.

Memrov includes your dominant value in the free reading. The full Schwartz values breakdown — all ten values ranked and interpreted alongside your Big Five, HEXACO, and attachment style — is available as part of the paid upgrade, which also includes a long-form written essay and downloadable PDF.
