WHAT THIS TEST EXPLORES

WHAT THIS TEST EXPLORES

Think about postponed plans, differing opinions, and a friend sharing something private. Instead of directly ranking value words, consider what matters through the priorities in your actions. Choosing one value does not mean dismissing all others. A different setting can call for another priority, and your friend may weigh things differently. The result is language for explaining your choices, not a verdict separating good friends from bad ones.

  • Friendship principles visible in actions
  • Considering several values together
  • Discussing different priority orders
