Value Conflict Resolution Test — Discover Tension Between Life Purpose and Values
Reveals areas where competing values may cause internal tension or conflict.
Welcome to the Value Conflict Resolution Test, a targeted assessment within the Life Purpose and Values category designed to reveal where competing values may create internal tension or decision-making friction. This short, actionable quiz helps you identify which personal values pull you in different directions—such as security versus freedom, loyalty versus honesty, or achievement versus well-being—and pinpoints areas that most affect your sense of purpose and clarity.
By answering a series of situational multiple-choice questions, you'll generate a clear numeric score that highlights dominant value preferences and potential conflict hotspots. Use the insights from this Value Conflict Resolution Test to make more aligned choices, reduce guilt or indecision, and build practical strategies that integrate your life purpose with everyday priorities. Ideal for self-reflection, coaching, or planning major life transitions.

Frequently asked questions
Your numeric score (sum of selected option values) indicates which set of values you currently prioritize. Negative scores lean toward stability, tradition, and community-focused values; positive scores lean toward autonomy, innovation, and personal achievement. Scores near zero suggest balanced priorities or frequent internal conflict between values.
This test contains 10 multiple-choice questions. Each question offers a range of responses that map to a numeric value; the total sum generates your overall results.
No. The quiz is a self-reflection and decision-making tool focused on values alignment. It is not a clinical assessment. If you are experiencing significant distress, persistent conflict, or mental health concerns, seek support from a licensed professional.
Use the results to identify dominant value priorities and specific conflict areas. Then create a simple action plan: list your top 3 values, set a short-term experiment to test a compromise, communicate priorities to stakeholders, and review outcomes. Reassess periodically to refine alignment with your life purpose.
Retake the test after major life changes (career shifts, relationships, relocations) or quarterly if you are actively working on aligning values with goals. Comparing results over time helps track shifts in priorities and the effectiveness of adjustments.
Yes. Consider journaling about the highest-conflict items, discussing outcomes with a trusted mentor or coach, and implementing small, time-limited experiments to reconcile competing values. If conflicts are deep or persistent, professional coaching or therapy can provide structured support.
