V.I.C.Your Values

What Is the V.I.C.?

A Clearer View of
What Matters Most.

The Values Identity Constellation is a brief assessment designed to help you see the values shaping your life. Rather than labeling your personality, it maps six dimensions of meaning and shows how strongly each one is present for you right now.

That matters because values do more than describe you. They influence how you make decisions, where you find purpose, and how connected you feel to your life. The V.I.C. turns that into a profile you can actually use.

Along the way, you will receive a typology, a dimension breakdown, examples from history and literature, and practical next steps. The goal is simple: help you understand yourself more clearly, then act on what matters.

The Six Dimensions

Every Life Is a Blend

The V.I.C. measures six core value dimensions that together describe the full landscape of what human beings tend to find meaningful. Your profile is the unique pattern of how strongly each one lives in you.

🤝
Giver

You value helping others, showing kindness, and contributing to society. Your deepest satisfaction comes from acts of service and care — from making others feel less alone.

Often reflected in: Fred Rogers, Desmond Tutu, Samwise Gamgee
🌱
Self-Actualizer

You are a seeker — using your will and creative spirit on the path to personal growth. Becoming more fully yourself is not a hobby; it is a calling.

Often reflected in: Leonardo da Vinci, Frida Kahlo, Hermione Granger
🧭
Adventurer

You pursue excitement, novelty, and stimulating experiences. Life, for you, is something to be tasted fully — and purposeful living does not have to mean serious living.

Often reflected in: Amelia Earhart, Jack Kerouac, Indiana Jones
🏆
Achiever

Results, mastery, and measurable progress define your energy. You are animated by the deep satisfaction of doing something excellently.

Often reflected in: Marie Curie, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan
Traditionalist

You honor established customs, spiritual beliefs, and time-tested ways of living. You understand that the deepest truths were not discovered recently — they were inherited, refined, and passed forward.

Often reflected in: Marcus Aurelius, Toni Morrison, Atticus Finch
🛡️
Guardian

Family bonds, personal security, and caring for those closest to you are your foundation. You are the anchor that holds others steady — and your love is expressed through commitment and enduring loyalty.

Often reflected in: Nelson Mandela, Abraham Lincoln, Marmee March

Behind the Assessment

How the V.I.C.
Was Built

Kumanu builds tools that help people connect everyday life to purpose and wellbeing. The Values Identity Constellation is one of those tools: a way to translate research on meaning and values into something practical and personal.

Its scoring and feedback are informed by Kumanu's broader research efforts, including the Kumanu Purpose Poll. The aim is not to flatten people into a label, but to offer useful context for reflection, clarity, and growth.

  • The V.I.C. looks across six value dimensions to create a fuller picture of what meaning looks like for you.
  • Values engagement refers to how strongly your values are guiding your everyday decisions and actions.
  • Your results combine value ratings and wellbeing inputs to give more grounded feedback.
  • Comparison scores are there to provide context, not judgment.
  • Purposeful recommendations are tailored to your pattern so you can put insight into practice.

Step 2 of 3

Your Wellbeing

Five questions about your wellbeing and emotional life — to help us give you the most meaningful and honest picture.

I have a clear sense of purpose that gives meaning to my daily life.
Overall, I would say I am flourishing — doing well across the important areas of my life.
When something upsetting happens, I can usually manage my emotional response without it overwhelming me.

The following two questions ask about the past two weeks:

How often have you felt down, depressed, or hopeless?
How often have you felt nervous, anxious, or on edge?
