Key Findings for September 2022

September’s top values are a “steady-as-she-goes” lineup: all ten stayed in the same positions, suggesting people’s priorities were unusually settled rather than reactive. Even so, the distribution tells a story. Health shows up in ~46% of tests, with Family close behind at ~42% and Trust at ~39%—a clear tilt toward security, support systems, and reliability.

A striking pattern is how tightly packed the top tier is. From Peace (~36%) through Respect (~30%), the gap between neighbors is only about 1–4 percentage points, meaning preferences are broad and balanced rather than dominated by a single obsession. The biggest drop is from Respect (~30%) to Friendship (~27%), hinting that broader social ties trail slightly behind core stability needs.

With zero movement in positions, there are no breakout risers or dramatic falls this month—September looks like a “re-centering” period. The mix of Financial stability (~33%) plus Pleasure (~33%) reads like back-to-routine energy: budgets and responsibility, but with a strong “still enjoy life” streak.

Seasonally, early fall often signals a reset after summer—health, family, peace, and money all fit that back-to-structure mindset.
