Values Choices Scoring Form

Summarize the results of the previous exercise by entering the numbers you recorded (for the first set of five) in the first box for each of those five values below. Each value appears five times, so when you are through recording all 21 sets of five, you will have five entries for each value. Add those five numbers across. The TOTALS column will give you some idea of the respective weights you give to those values in this exercise. Remember, the lower the number in

the TOTALS column, the higher that value ranks in your priorities.
