02.09 Integrity Assessment Instructions
You now have a good idea of what values are and how to be sure the choices you make help you live with integrity. Now it is your turn to dig deep into your personal and family values and reflect on how your actions and goals show those values. There are three parts to this assessment. Read about all the requirements, including the rubric, before beginning.
Part I: What do you value?
Set aside some time with a parent or guardian or with your entire family. During this time, discuss what you value as a family. As you talk, make a list. Submit five values from your list.
Reflection: Think about your individual values. How do your individual values compare to your family’s values, and how do your individual values differ from your family’s values? Explain this in four to six sentences.
Part II: Look at your Goals
Get out the goals you created. Where can you see your family and individual values in the goals you created? Match up five of the family or individual values you discussed in Part I with specific goals you see on your list of goals.
Reflection: Are there family or individual values you wrote about in Part I that do not have any goals that match them? If this is the case, reflect on how you can add to or change some of your goals. If all your values from Part I can be seen in the goals on your Life List, reflect on how you can see those values in the goals. Write about this in four to six sentences.
Part III: Do you sell out?
Look at the short-term and long-term steps on the goals. How do your current behaviors match those short-term and long-term steps to success? In other words, what actions are you taking right now that match these values? How do you show integrity? List five examples.
Reflection: Are there times when you see yourself selling out? When are the moments when your actions (short-term and long-term steps) do not match your goals? Are you willing to compromise your integrity? Write about this in four to six sentences.
All reflections should be written in complete sentences. To be sure your answers are in complete sentences, include part of the question in your answer. For example, if the question is, “What is your favorite color,” a complete answer might be, “My favorite color is blue,” or “Blue is my favorite color.”
