Key Findings for 2021
2021 was a breakout year: 225,476 tests, up 165.6%, giving a much sharper read on what people cared about. The Top 4 stayed rock-solid, and they’re all “core stability” values: Health (+0.9%), Family (+1.2%), Trust (−2.8%), Peace (+1.7%). That mix says people weren’t chasing novelty; they were protecting the basics.
The biggest ranking story is Financial stability, climbing 2 positions with a strong +5.3% YoY—the fastest grower in the Top 10. Freedom also gained momentum (+4.0%) while holding rank, hinting at a growing desire for personal agency. On the flip side, Pleasure dropped 1 position despite being slightly up (+0.7%), and Love fell 1 position with a small decline (−0.5%). Trust and Respect (−2.9%) softened, suggesting a more cautious, less socially confident mood.
Compared to prior years, the pattern looks “safety-first”: emotional comfort and security dominate, with money concerns surging. The outlook: if uncertainty lingers, expect Financial stability, Security, and Freedom to keep edging up, while relationship-values like Trust and Respect may recover more slowly unless social confidence rebounds.
