Adventure
Seeking exciting new experiences.
Adventure is the active willingness to step out of the familiar and expose yourself to new, uncertain or stimulating experiences. People who prioritize this value don't look for the safe routine; they look for the charge that comes from exploring territory—physical, cultural or professional—that they haven't yet mastered. It can show up as travel, controlled-risk sports, or accepting projects with an unpredictable outcome. Unlike simple intellectual curiosity, adventure also involves action and a consciously accepted degree of risk. For these people, the possibility of regretting not having tried weighs more than the fear that something might go wrong along the way.
