1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000 Hi everyone, so we'll come to the last but the most important of advanced 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,800 personality testing evaluation that I know and this one is so crucial I cannot 3 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:19,680 even begin to overemphasize it. It's called the core values assessment. What 4 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:27,120 inherent core values do we come in with as human beings? We are born with this and 5 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,280 this value system is what we chase in life. This is what we pursue. This is what 6 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:38,720 we aspire towards. Sometimes it is so hidden and so buried in all the things 7 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:43,360 that we do in life in our upbringing, in our society, in our personality. It's so 8 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:49,080 deeply buried that we are consciously maybe trying to find something in life 9 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:55,160 that mysterious something always kind of hitting an invisible wall of 10 00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:01,400 unhappiness thinking why am I still sad in life doing all the things that I'm 11 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,960 supposed to be doing getting a job getting this getting a business I 12 00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:10,720 followed all my passions etc etc but there is something called as core values 13 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:16,400 in the center of it. In the center of you there is a core value that your soul 14 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,160 is chasing if you want to get esoteric about it. You're chasing a particular 15 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:26,000 dream, a goal which has a value quality to it. Now these core values 16 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,720 assessment is that test. I take it in the very end after the basic and all the 17 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,320 advanced ones are finished because by the time you arrive at this one really 18 00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:40,400 needs to be a young adult and beyond. There has to be a certain maturity to 19 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,720 know what these value systems can mean and what drives them. This is the inner 20 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:51,200 driver. Okay let's see what these are. 21 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:58,320 What is core values assessment about? This is one of the most important and the 22 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:04,040 last one of the advanced self-image. Yes and question is deals with what your core 23 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:09,560 values are as a human. This questionnaire and reports are designed to help youth 24 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:15,080 and young adults determine what their alignment is. What I mean by alignment 25 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:20,280 is what they're doing in life versus what their value is. Are those 26 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,880 two things in alignment with their core values in terms of basics? These are very 27 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:37,000 basic which are cause, creation, responsibility, action and status. All of 28 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,360 the human values can be clubbed under those five basics. Think of it this. You 29 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:48,440 need to think very deeply on this. Just those five basic core values is what a 30 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:55,040 human being craves and works towards. Since every being has an external as 31 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,880 well as an internal world these reports expose which value system you give more 32 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:04,360 credence or importance to. Are you more of an external person or internal person? 33 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:11,240 Each one of these five has an external aspect and an internal aspect. These 34 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:16,760 reports will show an adult what their value system is in terms of above. 35 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:22,480 Empowering the individual to shift their focus consciously towards 36 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,640 conscious co-creation with the world. That's the key word there. Conscious 37 00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:30,520 co-creation. Are you engaging with the world in a conscious way or are you 38 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:36,200 just following everybody else's random suggestions and beliefs and whatnot? 39 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:44,960 Okay. A typical core assessment first report. Now there are three reports which 40 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,800 come out of this particular test. What are those? The report number one looks 41 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:56,360 like this. These are the five value systems given in terms of percentages 42 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:03,880 and score, creation status, responsibility, action and cause. Now this 43 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:11,600 particular individual has maximum area or focus in terms of action as a basis. 44 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:19,760 Okay. They're action oriented. Next they are cause oriented. Okay. This individual 45 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:25,880 was like this. What does this mean? The basic core values. What are they about? 46 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:34,360 Creation. Is your core focus around creation? Is this your core value? Is this 47 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:42,000 your dominant value? And you are not being one. If this is your dominant value 48 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,360 and you're not being this value in your real life, in your work, relationships, 49 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:53,600 etc. You may have a lifelong sadness not because of something external or 50 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,040 situations but your own core value that you're not following through in your 51 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:04,160 daily life. You're not being you. You're not following your bliss like they say. 52 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:11,400 Status. Next of the core values. Does having status among your friends, family 53 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:17,680 and society, your surroundings, your dominant energy of your soul, is that 54 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,480 your soul core value? If so, you should consciously focus on creating that for 55 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:28,920 your life. Create status. Many of us are here born in this lifetime to desire and 56 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:37,600 accomplish status. Power, authority, responsibility. Are you a deeply responsible 57 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,480 individual or third one? Some people have a deep sense of innate responsibility. 58 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,720 They are very responsible individuals. Does being responsible mean everything to 59 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:54,240 you? Start working from that level more if you find out through this test. Fourth 60 00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:00,280 one, action. Are you an action-oriented person? Taking action, being an 61 00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:04,440 activist for a cause or a condition or something in society or something in a 62 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:10,360 company like Simon Sinek would say, first find out the why. Why are you doing 63 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,400 the stuff you're doing? Does this mean the world to you? This is another core 64 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:22,440 value action. Last one is cause. What does cause mean to you in your core? Are you 65 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:28,920 one focused on causes? Social, societal, personal. It can be any one of them. 66 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,560 The area does not matter but you're focused on the cause. This is what these 67 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:41,680 tests will reveal. Next one of the report will be looking like this. It is the 68 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:48,920 EXT which is prefixed. EXT means external here. This is the external locus. 69 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:56,080 I call it. This external locus means going from you to external. What you look 70 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:02,320 for in the external world. It becomes refined more. The external locus of 71 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:08,160 this test will give you, are you interested in external creation, external 72 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:16,400 status, external responsibility, external action or external cause. This can also be 73 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,120 internal which we'll see in a minute but let's just see what it means here 74 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:28,880 briefly. The external drive. External locus is the external drive. External 75 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:34,880 creation is that which is created by self in the external world. This is this 76 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:41,320 person's focal point. External status that which the self gets from the 77 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:46,400 outside world or derives from the outside world. It's from the world coming to me. 78 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:52,080 External responsibility that which the self holds responsible to in the external 79 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,720 world. Like external sense of responsibility like a mother would spend 80 00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,640 for a child. I'm responsible for this child that is external responsibility. 81 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:07,880 External action that which the self takes action in the outside world. External 82 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,800 cause that which is caused by the external world to drive the self. This is 83 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,720 very crucial to understand the slight differences which is very nuanced but 84 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,920 it's very real. Once you take the test with me you know how real these things 85 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:31,960 can be. The last type of report is the internal locus. Where is your internal 86 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:37,400 locus? Locus means the line of energy that travels inside you. Internal locus. 87 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:42,120 Where is your focus? Internal creation, internal status, internal responsibility, 88 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:48,440 internal action and internal cause. We are talking about the internal drive here. 89 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:54,800 The basic core values of an internal try a person. Internal creation is that which 90 00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:00,560 is created within as a value. It's a perception of the person inside as a 91 00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:06,680 value. Not maybe endorsed by your family, friends and relatives or by your boss or 92 00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:11,480 your company. It may not be endorsed or validated by the external world but you 93 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:17,800 feel strongly as a value to that. Internal status is that which the self gets 94 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:25,000 from within. You feel certain status. You may not be getting lots of accolades and 95 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,960 rewards from the external world but you feel very rewarded as a person inside. 96 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,840 Same way, internal responsibility. That which the self holds responsible to 97 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:41,680 itself. I am responsible for doing such and such because I feel 98 00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:46,160 responsibility about this and I cannot live with myself if I don't take 99 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:51,760 responsibility for such and such a thing. See that is an internal sense of 100 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:58,000 responsibility. Internal action that by virtue of which self takes action in the 101 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:05,280 outside world caused from within. Internal action is that by virtue of which 102 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,480 the self takes action in the outside world. Means you are creating actions 103 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:14,000 within yourself and you project it onto the world around you. It may be in your 104 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:20,480 work, relationships and any area of life. Internal cause that which is the 105 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:26,320 internal cause which drives the external self in the world. Your human body, your 106 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,840 human mind, your human emotions. Something caused a stir inside you and that 107 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,440 which is driving you. It can happen both ways. Something an external can drive a 108 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:40,920 person internally to do something. Somebody is born with an innate sense 109 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:46,200 of a cause inside which they are trying to accomplish in the outside world. 110 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:53,080 So the five basic core values. What are these things? What will this 111 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,960 provide you with? What will this test provide you with? Well from the Aver3 112 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,280 reports one can easily see for themselves just how much they are focused on 113 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:07,680 which core values and what is the drive for them. They can more meaningfully 114 00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:12,600 engage with the world and feel more fulfilled in their life and purpose 115 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:19,920 and happiness if they get these kind of core value assessment. What matters is 116 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:25,560 whether one perceives value internally or externally in the world. Humans will 117 00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:29,640 spend their entire lives, their energy and everything they have in their 118 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:35,920 resources towards what they value and these tests give that picture to the 119 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:42,160 individual. There are a total of 141 core criteria which I use to evaluate this 120 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,840 since it's very important. We can't give a wrong picture to an individual. That 121 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,120 would be not at all in the best interest. That's not what we are trying to derive 122 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:57,000 here after all of these basic tests and all of these advanced tests. By now by 123 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,400 the time you arrive at this particular test you're pretty much known a lot 124 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,400 about yourself. Now we are getting to the core. It's like going from outside and 125 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:12,720 drilling down deep inside. These are the broadest areas of human life and living 126 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:19,080 and what one spends their time and energy towards. As an example and this is the 127 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,240 report which I showed you earlier, the third slide shows this person's values 128 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:30,160 action more than any other values as a base. This is the basis. Slide 5 shows 129 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:35,600 that this action is more focused on externally into the world. However the 130 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,400 person's internal world where this is derived as satisfaction is caused. 131 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:44,560 Meaning the person views all action taken in the external world as a cause and is 132 00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:50,000 driven by it. This is very interesting when I told this person when they took 133 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,240 this test. When I took this person, took this test on a person, they were surprised 134 00:12:54,240 --> 00:13:00,080 and did not expect at all. But later they came back to me and said yes this was 135 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,120 true for them since they are a part of five different causes in their life in 136 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:11,040 non-governmental organizations charity work. It's a she in this case, it's a 137 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,000 female in this case and she was surprised. She said yes this is what's been driving me 138 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:22,480 all my life and she's now in her 50s. So you can imagine finding such a great 139 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:27,280 epiphany in such a stage of life. The core values is very deep dive into the 140 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:32,000 hidden value system in every human heart and should be understood, explored and 141 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,720 work with actively in each one's life. For you have one life make it count. 142 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:58,660 ?
