                   Tanya might make the choice to go with the larger company
                   because it fulfills most of her values. A person with a different set
                   of values would have a completely different profile.
                       Let’s say we’re looking at the same companies but with a dif-
                   ferent person. Carlos is recovering from a heart attack, and his
                   doctors have told him he must slow down. Carlos’s top values are
                   as follows:


                       1. Minimum stress
                       2. Minimum stimulation

                       3. Short commute

                       4. Mastery
                       5. Independence

                       6. Spiritual fulfillment

                       7. Financial security
                       8. Social contact

                       9. Flextime
