Values.guide is a free tool that helps people put words to what matters to them. You answer a set of reflective questions, and the site highlights the values that show up most clearly in what you wrote.
It is not there to tell you who you are. It is there to help you notice patterns, reflect on what fits, and get a clearer starting point.
Therapy helps, but it only reaches so many people. A lot of people never get access to that kind of conversation, even when they are stuck in patterns that quietly make life smaller.
Values.guide was built with that in mind. It is shaped by acceptance and commitment therapy, which treats values as direction, not as a score or label. When people get clearer on what matters to them, decisions do not always get easier, but they often get clearer.
Values.guide uses language models from OpenAI to map written answers to a list of 48 values. That can be useful, but it is still a tool for reflection, not a final judgment.
Some results will feel right straight away. Some will miss context or overread a theme. When that happens, trust your own judgment over the output. The tool is most useful when it helps you notice something worth thinking about.

Thanks to Dr. Russ Harris for giving permission to adapt the personal values listed in his book, The Happiness Trap, for inclusion in Values.guide.
Thanks as well to the acceptance and commitment therapy community on Reddit for their feedback.
