A five-minute survey. Your personal report is ready straight away: nine values ranked, your overall direction and the blind spot that can come with it.
For your team
Everyone gets their own private report. The team gets an anonymous team compass: where the team leans, how closely people’s values agree, and what that means for working together. Add a debrief with a Cophi facilitator.
Values stay personal when a team takes the survey. The team view adds one anonymous compass for the whole team. It shows the team's average shape, its overall lean and its top three values. From four people, each person's overall direction appears as a thin unnamed arrow, with your own marked. From eight people, the report also says in words how closely people's values agree: shared, partly shared or mixed. In teams of 25 or more, the chart groups people into wedges that show how many lean each way. Values that point different ways are not a problem: the team brings different priorities and often sees more sides of a question, though agreeing may take longer. Values close together show a shared direction, which can make it easier to agree and can also mean shared blind spots.
Offer two people the same move, say a new role in a new city, and one asks what could go wrong while the other asks what it would be like to try. Neither is being difficult. Each is weighing the same facts against priorities of their own, formed long before this decision and carried into every one after it, at work and outside it. Those priorities are rarely named, which is why they are easy to miss in others and in ourselves.
Those priorities are what the report measures. Values are a person’s own judgement of what is important: what is good, worth doing, worth protecting. They belong to the individual, not to a job or a team, and they shape decisions quietly. Cophi’s values report uses nine values adapted from decades of research, in particular the work of the psychologist Shalom Schwartz.
The nine values sit on a compass. Values next to each other tend to go together; values opposite each other tend to be in tension, as Security and Exploration often are. Left to right, the compass runs from values focused on other people to values focused on the self. Top to bottom, it runs from values about growth and discovery to values about protection and security. Together the two lines give four groups: Our wellbeing, My autonomy, My achievements and Our stability. Everyone holds all nine values to some degree. The report shows which ones carry more weight for you, not which ones you have or lack.
A personal report, ready the moment you finish. It shows your compass: an orange outline of the weight each value carries for you, and an arrow for your overall lean. Beside the chart it names your top three and bottom two values. You also get the strength and the watch-out of each top value, one potential blind spot drawn from the value that carries least weight for you, and questions to reflect on alone or with a colleague. You can download it as a PDF.
Your personal report is yours. Nobody at your organisation can open it, including the person who invited you; only you and Cophi staff can. The team view never shows names, appears only once three people have completed, and shows only the average until there are four, so no one’s result can be worked out from it. If you signed up on your own, we keep your details and report for up to 24 months after you last sign in.
It is not a personality test, and there is no good or bad result. Values are relative: the report says which of the nine carry more weight for you and which carry less, not how you compare with anyone else. Values can also shift slowly over time, so the report describes where you are now, not who you will always be. It says nothing about your competence or your fit for a role.
