Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
What It Captures
The checklist captures endorsed values, optional client clarification, and practitioner review notes.
Limits
The tool does not score values, rank them normatively, judge whether answers are authentic, or automatically create therapy goals.
Does Values Checklist score the client's values?
No. It produces a values profile, not a score.
Can the client select many values?
Yes. The profile can show all selected values for practitioner and client discussion without forcing unsupported prioritization.
What if none of the values fit?
The tool can show an incomplete or no-fit state for review instead of forcing a selection.
