P.I.A.V.

In 1928, Eduard Spranger wrote a book entitled “Types ofMen.” He identified six major attitudes or world-views. These attitudes are a type of window through which we view the world and seek fulfillment in our lives. If we are participating in a discussion, activity or career that is in alignment with our attitudes, we will value the experience. Conversely, if it is in conflict with our dominant attitudes, we will be indifferent or negative toward the experience, which can cause stress.

The Six Attitudes

• Theoretical – A passion to discover, systematize and
  analyze; a search for knowledge.
• Utilitarian – A passion to gain return on investment of
  time, resources and money.
• Aesthetic - A passion to add balance and harmony in
  one’s own life and protect our natural resources.
• Social – A passion to eliminate hate and conflict in the
  world and to assist others.
• Individualistic - A passion to achieve position and to
  use that position to influence others.
• Traditional – A passion to pursue the higher meaning in
  life through a defined system for living.

The Personal Interests, Attitudes and Values™ assessment measures your responses in each of the six attitudes. The computerized report shows each of the six attitudes compared to a recently validated national average. You are provided with information on the WHY of your actions which, with application, can positively impact your life.

“Valuing” Your Life & Others

Once you are aware of the dominant attitudes contributing passion and purpose to your life, you will be able to clarify what drives your actions, as well as what causes conflict. For example, if you are currently questioning whether you are in the right career, knowing your attitudes will help you decide. In addition, applying an understanding of attitudes to your relationships with others will
deepen your appreciation of them and clarify the “why” of your interactions.
