Key Findings for August 2024
August’s top values skew heavily toward “keep life running smoothly.” Health leads with 47.3% of tests, followed by Family at 44.1%. The next cluster is tightly packed: Trust (38.4%) and Peace (38.0%) are basically neck-and-neck, suggesting people want calmer relationships as much as they want strong ones. Money matters too: Financial stability hits 35.0%, with Security at 25.5%, making stability a major theme.
The biggest movers are the “social glue” values. Respect climbs 3 positions to 7th, Friendship rises 3 into the top 10, and Trust gains 2 to 3rd, while Love holds 6th. Freedom and Pleasure each slip a place, Financial stability drops 2 to 5th, and Growth falls 4 places out of the top 10. That mix reads like a collective upgrade in boundaries and belonging: be safe, be seen, and still breathe.
Overall, priorities look like a late-summer reset: protect the body (Health), protect the circle (Family, Trust, Respect), and reduce friction (Peace). Seasonally, August often blends back-to-school planning and end-of-summer reflection, which can nudge people toward stability, harmony, and relationship maintenance—before fall’s pace kicks in.
