Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Scale | Your Deep Value Ranking

I. Allport's Classic Theory

Allport, Vernon, and Lindzey, building on Spranger's theory of personality types, divided people's value orientations into six basic dimensions. These six values are not mutually exclusive but coexist in each person with different priorities, forming your unique 'value structure'.

II. Analysis of the Six Value Orientations

  • Theoretical - Passionate about seeking truth, values knowledge and logic, and pursues objective understanding.
  • Economic - Focuses on practicality and efficiency, and cares about accumulating resources, producing results, and real returns.
  • Aesthetic - Drawn to form, harmony, and beauty, enjoying the experience itself rather than utilitarian ends.
  • Social - Cares for others, values altruism and group well-being, and takes benevolence as its core.
  • Political - Pursues influence, dominance, and prestige, and longs to wield control within an organization.
  • Religious - Seeks transcendent meaning and cares about cosmic order, spiritual faith, and inner unity.

III. Test Logic and Who It Is For

This test uses 24 situational choices to indirectly measure your relative preferences across the six dimensions. Each question's options correspond to different value dimensions, and the final ranking is based on the total scores across the six dimensions, showing your dominant value type and how balanced you are.

Suitable for: professionals who want to understand their deeper motivations, students facing a choice of direction, and psychology enthusiasts curious about their own value structure.

IV. Scoring and Interpretation

Each question's six options each correspond to one dimension, and choosing one adds 1 point to that dimension (the indirect ranking method). The totals for each dimension are then added up, and the dimension with the highest score is your 'dominant value'; the differences among the six scores reveal how concentrated your value ranking is. The results section will present your six-dimension radar chart, a description of your dominant type, and integration suggestions.
