Super's Work Values Inventory - Revised.
WVI-R / SWVI-R
- What it measures
- Work values reflecting what people seek from work: 12 values scales (e.g. achievement, independence, prestige, income, security, altruism, creativity, variety, co-workers, supervision, work environment, lifestyle/way of life).
- Length and format
- 72 (12 values x 6 items) in the revised version; original WVI had 45 items. Likert importance ratings (normative, not ipsative) (self-report questionnaire)
- Language versions
- Several adaptations (e.g. Chinese validations); used internationally
- Normative data
- No normative data held in our reference library for this instrument. That is a statement about our library, not about the published literature.
- Licence
- open with attribution
Licence classification is a research judgement by the catalogue’s authors, not legal advice, and it can be out of date. Confirm terms with the copyright holder or publisher before using an instrument, especially for commercial use.

Choosing between this and the alternatives
We do not deliver this instrument. If you are selecting a measure for a research programme, a national survey or an assessment product, and the question is which instrument, in which language, against which norms and under which licence, that is the work we do.
