socioValue Influencers Survey

This survey should take 20 minutes to complete.

Ignite Excellence's socioValue Influencers are a collection of 112 social values annually researched that measure the personal beliefs, attitudes, values, motivations, and mental postures of Canadians and Americans. The research is proprietary to Ignite Excellence and is conducted by our partnering company, Environics Research Group (ERG), a North American Social Value Research organization. Environics Research Group has been a leader in public opinion research in Canada for over 30 years. Ignite Excellence's socioValue Influencers track social changes and identify new, emerging trends that present new business opportunities and how to communicate through such social values and change.

The survey you are about to complete will provide insight into the importance of values in the decision-making processes. The questions are personal, as values are personal. Understanding these values of others is a key element in unlocking the complexity of decision-making.

Although the research is based on many values, we have edited the number of questions to collect the most representative values of your socioValue Influencer. As a result, the description of your values will be approximately 70% accurate.

THE INFORMATION IS CONFIDENTIAL. The results of which of the seven socioValue Influencer classifications and four Communication Styles you belong to will be provided to you in the program in a printout format. How to identify the socioValue Influencers in others is a communication skill that will be developed during the program.

Ignite Excellence looks forward to working with you and taking you to your next level in influential communications.
