Personal values priority exercise

    Purpose: To demonstrate the importance of values, how (and why) we prioritize our values, and what effect these decisions have on who we are and how we interact with other people. Think about the things in your life that are most important to you. These things can be considered your personal values or priorities. Listed below are 24 items, each labeled with a different personal priority. Your task is to sort the items into four categories of six items each. One category should represent the six priorities that are very important to you. Another category will represent the six priorities that are somewhat important to you. A third category will contain the six priorities that are slightly important to you. And the fourth category will contain the six priorities that are least important to you.
