Note: some of this material was taken from other surveys, and some from possible priorities from several books, especially books on aging including Frederic M. Hudson (1999), The adult years: Mastering the art of self-renewal. Revised edition. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass publishers, p.122.
Notes on how to use this form:
1. You could take the survey, have another person close to you take it, and compare your values to their values.
2. You could take the survey, then take it again several years later and compare your answers.
3. You could take it twice, once in terms of your theoretical belief about what you think is important, and then a second time in terms of your actual behavior, and note where there are discrepancies between theory and practice (your real vs. your ideal).
4. You could take it, and ask someone who knows you to rate you, and compare what you think you are like to what they think you are like.
