Key Findings for January 2022
January 2022 looks like a “keep it together” month. The top 10 is dominated by stability-and-safety themes, with Health leading at about 46% of tests, followed by Family (~42%) and Trust (~38%). The cluster from Peace (~37%) through Security (~26%) suggests people are optimizing for calm, reliable routines rather than novelty.
Rank movement is the least dramatic plot twist: the order barely budges, with Trust passing Peace for 3rd, Love passing Pleasure for 6th, and Respect climbing 2 places back into the top 10. That kind of near-zero shuffle often signals broad agreement across respondents, not just a loud minority.
The mix is telling: Financial stability (~33%) and Security (~26%) sit comfortably alongside Love (~32%) and Pleasure (~32%). Translation: people want both the safety net and the serotonin, preferably on a predictable schedule.
Seasonally, this fits January energy: post-holiday reset, New Year health goals, and a practical turn toward budgeting and steadiness. It’s less “new year, new me,” more “new year, stable me.”
