Find Your Perfect Career - Learn how to match your personality to the ideal job or career for you-risk free-$49.95

In the quest for career fulfillment, many people look for a job that aligns with their personality. In this pursuit, the Core Values Index™ psychometric assessment has proven to be one of the most accurate and useful tools available.

To help you understand how the CVI can aid you in your quest to find the perfect job — or even just a better job — we dive into its benefits and how it works.

Understanding the Core Values Index (CVI)

The Core Values Index is a psychometric assessment that determines your intrinsic motivations, what we sometimes call your personality's DNA. The CVI measures four personality categories called core value energies. By understanding these core value energies and their particular ratio within you, your authentic self is revealed. Your CVI report guides you towards a more fulfilling and purpose-driven career path.

Understanding your core values can help you identify work environments, cultures, and roles that align with your authentic self.

One of the primary benefits of the CVI is its ability to foster self-awareness. By completing the assessment, you gain insights into your deepest motivations and what truly drives them. This self-awareness can be a catalyst for making more informed career choices.

Understanding your core values can help you identify work environments, cultures, and roles that align with your authentic self. This increases the likelihood of finding a more fulfilling job.

Organizational Culture

Organizational culture plays a crucial role in job satisfaction. Employees who resonate with their company's values are more likely to thrive and find satisfaction in their roles. The CVI can aid in identifying organizations whose core values align closely with your own. By recognizing this alignment early on, you can target companies that are more likely to provide an environment conducive to your personal and professional growth.

Decision-Making

The CVI empowers you to make more informed career decisions.

Armed with an understanding of your core values, you can assess potential job opportunities with greater clarity. You can evaluate whether a position, company, or career path resonates with your intrinsic motivations. This self-awareness helps you avoid job choices driven solely by external factors, such as salary or prestige, which may lead to dissatisfaction in the long run.

Finding a job that aligns with your particular core values profile often results in increased job satisfaction. When you engage in work that is meaningful, you will likely experience higher levels of motivation, productivity, and overall well-being.

By using the CVI to identify roles and organizations that nurture your unchanging nature, you have a higher probability of finding a job that provides genuine fulfillment and satisfaction.

Career Growth and Longevity

The Core Values Index can guide you towards career paths that offer long-term growth and longevity. By aligning your core values with your professional pursuits, you are more likely to find opportunities for personal and career development within your chosen field. This alignment fosters a sense of purpose and commitment, enabling you to build a career that can bring you joy and continued growth over time.

After completing the CVI, you will be equipped with the tools to overcome challenges and navigate obstacles in your career journey. By understanding your CVI profile, you can identify potential roadblocks and proactively seek solutions that align with your motivations. This self-awareness helps you build resilience, adaptability, and the capacity to make choices that align with your authentic self even in challenging circumstances.

Your Potential

The Core Values Index offers significant potential in assisting you in your quest to find a better job that aligns with your personality.

By providing self-awareness, guiding career decisions, and identifying organizational alignment, the CVI assessment empowers you to seek a fulfilling and purpose-driven career. By leveraging the insights gained from the CVI, you can embark on a path of increased job satisfaction, personal growth, and long-term success in your chosen field.
