Key Findings for August 2021
August 2021 looks like a month of “steadying the ship.” Health leads by a mile, appearing in 45.9% of 21,101 tests, with Family close behind at 41.8%. The top tier is tightly packed: Trust (38.2%) and Peace (36.1%) suggest people weren’t just chasing goals, they were chasing calm and reliability.
The biggest climbers are all about emotional and social safety nets. Respect rises 3 positions to 9th at 29.8%, Trust climbs 2 to 3rd, and Security edges up 1 position into 10th at 25.0%. Freedom (30.9%) and Love (31.2%) hold their places side by side, a steady “independence + connection” combo. Pleasure (+1 position, 33.0%) passing Financial stability (−2 positions, 32.2%) hints at a very human plan: enjoy life, but keep the budget spreadsheet open. Further down, Loyalty (+9) and Friendship (+7) make the month’s biggest jumps, while Growth drops out of the top 10.
Seasonally, this reads like late-summer recalibration: coming out of vacation mode while gearing up for back-to-school and a more structured fall, people prioritize health, harmony, and dependable relationships.
