Key Findings for February 2022
February 2022 looks like a month of “get me safe, steady, and sane.” Health leads with about 45% of tests, and the top four (Health, Family, Trust, Peace) each appear in roughly 36–45%, signaling a strong tilt toward stability, close bonds, and emotional security over novelty.
The biggest climbers are the “quality-of-life” crew: Friendship rises 2 positions into 10th (a meaningful ~26% reach), while Pleasure climbs 2 positions to 5th at ~33%. Freedom and Respect hold 8th and 9th, suggesting people weren’t just hunkering down; they kept dignity and autonomy in view and wanted some fun while doing it. The “grown-up checkbox” value, Financial stability, still sits high at ~32.5% despite slipping a place to 6th.
Taken together, priorities seem split between protection (Health/Peace/Trust) and re-connection (Family/Friendship/Love at ~26–42%). Seasonally, February often amplifies relationships and self-care—think winter fatigue plus Valentine-adjacent bonding—making this mix of comfort, connection, and small joys feel right on time.
