Three Pillars of Personal Growth

Employers use the Core Values Index™ psychometric assessment for accurate hiring and to optimize their teams. Individuals use the CVI for personal growth in three key areas: job and career happiness, relationships and communications, and in education.

The Core Values Index is the world's most accurate and reliable psychometric assessment and personality test. It has the highest repeat reliability rating ever achieved, at 97.7%. This means if you take the CVI today and again in 5 or even 10 years, your results will likely vary by less than 3%.

How is the CVI used?

Employers use the CVI in hiring to ensure candidates have the innate, hardwired psychometric fit best suited to the needs of the role (i.e., make sure you aren't an analytical person applying for a creative role or vice versa, etc.)

Individuals use the Core Values Index personality assessment in three key areas of personal growth.

I. The CVI and Job and Career Satisfaction

Studies have shown that 70% of workers today are disengaged.

Workers today show up to their job and do the work but aren't motivated. The reasons vary, such as low pay or having toxic bosses or co-workers, but the number one cause is their psychometric profile isn't aligned with the needs of their role.

Are you disengaged in your job or career?

See if any of these scenarios match up to your experience.

• You are highly innovative and love to solve problems, but the nature of your job doesn't change, and you feel bored doing the same thing day after day.
• One of your biggest strengths is your ability to engage and motivate others, getting everyone to enthusiastically pull together toward a common goal. But, alas, your job requires you to work in isolation much of the time, wasting your natural-born ability to connect with others.
• Getting things done is your strong suit. You boldly take action when action is needed, having great faith in your natural ability to always know what to do and then to fearlessly do it. However, you are in a position where the need to take bold action is rarely called upon, and you frustratingly find yourself following more than you lead.
• Nobody excels at gathering and organizing data and information better than you. Your analytical and fact-based mind would thrive in a role where being the knowledgeable member of the team is valued. Unfortunately you find yourself stuck in a position where what you've learned and what you know is neither required nor valued, or you are called upon to lead from the front when you'd rather play a supportive, informative role.

Job seekers and those already employed have discovered they can rely on the Core Values Index to reveal their true and unchanging nature. This helps them understand which kind of job or career best matches their strengths.

The Personalized Career Guide now included with every full Core Values Index assessment helps you discover the career track where you are most likely to succeed — and where you'll find the greatest chance of occupational happiness and engagement.

II. The CVI and Relationships

Have you ever met someone who just seemed to rub you the wrong way from the very start? Everything they say grates on your nerves and you find it impossible to understand their point of view.

The opposite can happen. What about people who seem to share the same thoughts as you. You practically finish each other's sentences and your perspectives seem to be in perfect alignment. They are like a brother from another mother or a sister from another mister, as the sayings go.

These emotional and social dichotomies exist every day in our lives, but why? The Core Values Index can reveal the answers.

What if you are in a long-term relationship with someone and despite having a lot in common on paper, from an emotional standpoint the two of you just can't seem to find common ground?

A huge part of what makes a relationship work is the ability to communicate.

Each of you needs to convey your message in a way the other person can easily understand. What do you do when this connection is elusive?

If only there was a way to determine ahead of time if you and another person match up in how you communicate, how you see yourself and how you see the world around you.

There is.

The Core Values Index personality assessment is one of the most informative and enlightening tools available to help you not only understand yourself and your own hardwiring, but the perspective and psychometric nature of the other person.

The CVI reveals your personality's DNA.

When you compare your CVI profile to the CVI profile of another person, you can learn where you overlap, what you share in common — not in terms of life experience but from a deep and fundamental emotional level — and the areas where your psychometric profiles differ.

III. The CVI and Education

Consider where you are in your career. If you find yourself sometimes wondering how you got to this point, you're not alone. Imagine if you had a time machine and you could go back to your teenage years. You could share all the lessons you’ve learned, most often through trial and error, about what jobs made you happy and what aspects of your career have been less than satisfying.

Nobody can predict the future, but there is a way for teens or even college students already pursuing their post-secondary education to identify the particular career tracks that have the highest chance of providing long-term vocational happiness and fulfillment.

The Core Values Index is becoming increasingly popular among teens and their parents, and for good reason. Just as the CVI can tell someone already well into their career why they are disengaged — or super happy! — in their current role, it can help young people learn about their own innate and unchanging nature.

It is this knowledge of how you are hardwired that can help guide you in your career planning. The CVI reveals if you are action-oriented, community-minded, a lover of innovation and solving problems, or analytical and adept at gathering data and knowledge.

Most people are combinations of these traits, possessing them in a specific ratio unique to them (that's why the scores of your CVI profile matter — they tell you how much of four core value energies exist within your particular psychometric profile).

Use the CVI to learn how you are hardwired before you begin your educational journey. Don't waste time and money pursuing a career that might seem attractive on the surface but will leave you disengaged and disillusioned once you land that first job.
