See how hard choices reveal what matters most

A forced-prioritization exercise between positive values. When you finish, you access your profile with the values that ranked highest and lowest in your choices, and can explore references, clusters, and comparisons.

Why it matters
Every day we are bombarded by external expectations. The noise is so loud that our own voice gets lost.

This is not a personality test to label you. It is forced prioritization. The difference between living busy and living with purpose.

The process

How the exercise works

Three steps, no right answer, only the order that emerges from your choices.

01

Pairwise confrontation

You see pairs of positive values: both are good, but you must prioritize one each round.

02

Personal ranking

Your choices accumulate into a ranking among 48 values. There is no correct answer: only your order.

03

Your dashboard profile

When you finish, you access the top 3 and bottom 3 values from your exercise, with definitions and sample context.

It is amazing to see the convergence of the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy model and technology happening so sophisticatedly in Brazil. myvalues.app is a promising tool for clinical research.

It is also a powerful intervention that provides new perspectives that often remain hidden in the therapeutic dialogue.

DR
Dr. Pedro Rosa

I had the privilege of closely following the creation of this values project and can attest to the diligence with which this pioneering initiative was transformed into a solid resource for routine use in clinical practice.

In addition to holding a relevant place in the psychological flexibility model, Values also consistently integrate contemporary personality models. As a practical instrument, myvalues.app serves both as a guide for self-knowledge and change for patients and interested individuals and as a tool for health professionals to operationalize values clarification, enhance psychoeducation, and strengthen therapeutic engagement.

Dr. Cainã Gomes' creation contributes uniquely to evidence-based treatment projects by promoting intrinsic motivation and helping patients orient themselves toward a more resilient, purpose-aligned life.

Dr. Roberto Banaco

Truly, from the heart: it's a thorough dive into self-knowledge. I knew several things about myself, but had never been put in the position of prioritizing them against each other.

Following the app, I found myself needing to look at myself as I never had before. It's like discovering a muscle you didn't even know you were aware of, until exercise forces you to notice it. That was the closest analogy to the experience the app gave me.

DB
Dr. Marcelo Brañas

An intuitive, objective platform with a solid scientific basis. I recommend it to everyone who wants insight into something central to our identity and self-direction: our values.

DM
Dr. Dante Malavazzi

This app is a practical and useful clinical tool not only for clarifying values but also for deepening self-knowledge more broadly. I recommend it!

The experience was exciting! The app helped me identify important values for me that I still didn't know how to put into words.

As I answered the questionnaire, I realized it goes far beyond that, offering deep analyses and cultural connections that broadened my sense of belonging.

DM
Dr. Wilson Melo

A very interesting app that turns self-knowledge into something intriguing and dynamic.

DC
Dra. Fernanda Calixto

Going through the choices allowed me, even briefly, to reflect on the values that are now most prominent in my life, while I imagine it would be a great way to start exploring possible values with my adolescent clients!

DB
Dra. Luiza Brandão

A powerful exercise in self-reflection and self-development

Ms. Larissa Gonçalves

I really liked the test. It is fast, intuitive, and in the end it helped me see more clearly what my main values are and what really matters to me.

DH
Dr. Curt Hemanny

This app helped me see the areas of my life that I truly value and to which I wasn't paying attention; now it's easier to know what to do, in therapy and day to day, to live more in line with those values.

DS
Dra. Joana Singer

I loved the app! Simple, fluid and it brings important elements for reflection, including for making important decisions.

MJ
Ms. Dan Josua

Values are at the core of any meaningful life. Some people live meaningfully without having stopped to think about their values. But it's far more common to live with a constant discomfort from not knowing where to go.

myvalues.app is the only tool I know that helps you find that compass of values. On top of that, it even recommends what to do next. It is a fantastic tool for psychologists, their patients, and anyone else who wants to reflect a bit on their next step.

MS
Ms. José Siqueira

I consider working with values as one of the most relevant aspects in promoting mental health. In this sense, myvalues.app offers an extremely valuable resource for people who want to know themselves better and identify what really matters in their lives.

DD
Dr. Alexandre Dittrich

A clear, intuitive, and efficient tool to discover what really matters to you.

DC
Dr. Ramiro Catelan

This is one of the most innovative ideas that have emerged at the interface between psychology and technology in Brazil. A simple, attractive app with high potential to help people align their lives with what really matters to them.

DF
Dr. Tiago Ferreira

Often, theory about values seems distant from practice. myvalues.app changes that by combining solid theoretical grounding with language accessible to everyone. It is a tool that facilitates the journey of self-discovery and enhances clinical transformation. I recommend it to professionals and students who want a practical tool to help their patients build lives with more meaning.
