Enjoyment

Making room for pleasure, play and good moments in everyday life.

Measured by the Core Values Compass test. Scores run from 0 to 100.

Low scores (under 40): Less central

You tend to treat fun as a reward earned after the work, not a goal in itself. That keeps you productive, but pleasure can slip down the list for weeks at a time.

Balanced scores (40 to 60)

You enjoy yourself when the chance comes and can also put pleasure on hold. Fun matters to you without steering the ship.

High scores (over 60): Core to you

You actively build good food, laughter and downtime into your life. That keeps you warm company, though pleasure now can crowd out slower payoffs.

Sources and method

This lens asks how much ten broad values matter to you and ranks them by your answers. It relies on self-report, so it captures what you believe about yourself today, not a fixed truth. Most people rate many values highly, so the bands show relative emphasis within your own profile, not how you compare with anyone else. The useful part is the order and the gaps between them. Treat the result as a rough prompt for reflection, not a label.

Neither end of a dimension is better. Each comes with strengths and costs. For self-reflection and entertainment only.
