A private cartography for your mind.
This tool generates a scientifically accurate map of your values based on Schwartz’s theory - optimized for you to explore further with your preferred AI model.
Methodology & Scientific Sources ▾
This tool utilizes instruments developed by Shalom Schwartz to measure the Basic Values theory: The SVS, PVQ-40, and PVQ-21 (ESS).
It bypasses social filters by using "projective portraits" - descriptions of others that you compare to yourself.

Choose an observed person.
You will compare statements to this portrait, not to yourself.
You have entered Abstract Mode. You will rate concepts (e.g., "Freedom") directly as guiding principles in your life.
To ensure psychological validity, the questions must describe a third person ("He/She believes..."). You compare this stranger to yourself. This "psychological distance" bypasses your ego's immediate defenses.
1. Look at the portrait.
2. Read the statement.
3. Compare to yourself.
