Values in Action

Self-Assessment

At Brighton Jones we don’t just talk about our values, we live by them. We’ve captured specific behaviors of what our values look like in action. They describe how we collaborate, communicate, and work together. These reflect our commitment to creating an inclusive culture where everyone is heard, valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential.

How it works

  • Respond honestly to each statement.
  • Positive behaviors use a six-point agreement scale.
  • Non-negotiable behaviors use a separate three-point frequency scale.
  • Scores and section totals are calculated automatically.
  • Your progress is saved only in this browser. No responses are sent to a server.
  • The completed assessment can be downloaded as a PDF.
