Kindness

Caring about other people's wellbeing and acting to help.

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

Low scores (under 40): Less central

You tend to put your own aims first and are careful about how much you take on for others. That keeps your commitments clear, though people may not always see that you care.

Balanced scores (40 to 60)

You help readily when the need is clear and you have the energy. Care is part of who you are, balanced against your own limits.

High scores (over 60): Core to you

Other people's wellbeing weighs on you and shapes what you do. It makes you trusted and generous, and it can leave you over-giving or slow to say no.

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.
