Values vs Personality: What's the Difference?

Personality describes relatively consistent patterns in how a person tends to think, feel, or behave. Values concern what the person considers important.

Similar personality, different values

Two people with similar personality tendencies can have different values. People with different personalities can share a strong value.

Example

Two people may both value helping others while one is socially outgoing and another prefers quieter forms of contribution.

The key distinction

How you tend to behave is not automatically the same as what you consider important.

Your values can tell you what matters. Your gifts and skills can help reveal how you may express it.
