3. Flossie makes lists and sometimes they reveal the order in which she values things. Look at the following word groups. For each one, list the five words in rank order—the most important to the least important. Compare the lists and see if some kind of pattern emerges. (For example, if your most important words are ambition, good family income, clever, self-assured, and decisive, you might want to consider going to law school .)

a) loyalty, popularity, dependability, ambition, patience
b) good looks, good family income, good grades, good personality, good luck
c) clever, practical, realistic, conscientious, idealistic
d) outgoing, intuitive, empathetic, inclusive, self-assured
e) perceptive, judgmental, sensitive, decisive, thoughtful

Now compare your lists with each other’s. Each person’s list is probably quite different—but which are more different? (For example, are your lists more like your mother’s/daughter’s or a friend’s your own age?)
