Values Sorter
“Cut a long list of values to ten, then to three.”
Put what actually matters to you into a real order by answering one pair at a time — then read the result against Schwartz's circle, which tells you which of your top values genuinely pull against each other, and why certain decisions keep being hard.
- Twenty-nine plain-English value cards, grouped by Schwartz's ten basic values
- Forced pairs, no ties — because scoring things out of ten produces a lot of eights
- Binary-insertion sort: twelve values takes about 30 questions, not 66
- Undo any answer, and the shortlist is shuffled first so ticking order doesn't leak in
- Shows where your top five sit on the circle, and names the tension if they straddle it
- This one is finished and tested — not on the build list
- It will be $9, same as every other tool
- One email when it goes up, no list, no spam
Three steps, then you're done
Be generous. Eight to fourteen is the sweet spot.
Which of these two, if you had to pick. One at a time.
Plus which quarter of the circle they cluster in, and what that means.
Questions
Do I need to install anything?
No. Each tool is a single file. Double-click it and it opens in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox — whichever you already have. No account, no password, no software.
Does anything get uploaded?
No. Your numbers and files never leave your computer — the tools have no way to send them and no internet connection is needed to run them. You can switch your wi-fi off and they still work.
I'm not good with computers. Is this too hard?
The first thing every tool does is walk you through it in five short screens with pictures. Then there's a button that fills it with example numbers so you can watch it work before touching anything.
Will it work on my phone?
Yes. Email yourself the file and open the attachment, or drop the files in iCloud Drive, Dropbox or Google Drive and open them from there — then they're on every device you own.
