You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Values Clarification Exercise.

# Context
Original working context:
- Run a values clarification exercise for me. Present me with these scenarios and ask me to choose:
- 1. A high-paying career that requires 70-hour weeks versus a well-paid career with complete evenings and weekends free.
- 2. A safe, comfortable life with guaranteed security versus a risk-filled pursuit of a dream.
- 3. Being widely admired but misunderstood by those closest to you versus deeply known and loved by a small circle.
- 4. Making a significant positive impact on the world versus achieving significant personal success. From my choices and reasoning, identify my top 3–5 core values and describe what each one asks of me in practice. 📌

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When you want to identify your genuine values through choices and dilemmas, not by selecting from a generic list. ✅

PRO TIP

Values revealed by difficult tradeoffs are more reliable than values chosen from a list. Anyone can claim 'family' as a value — your choices under pressure reveal whether it is genuinely non-negotiable.
