Which of the following is NOT listed as an example of a value?

• A. Time management
• B. Honesty
• C. Family
• D. Work ethic

Answer: (A)

Values are enduring beliefs about what matters most and they guide a person’s choices and behavior. Honesty, family, and work ethic are classic examples because they express commitments to truthfulness, loved ones, and responsible effort. Time management isn’t a value in the same way; it’s a skill or habit that helps someone act on those values by organizing how they spend their time. It’s a method for translating values into action, not a belief about what should matter. Some frameworks call it a personal quality, but overall it’s seen as a practiced competency rather than a core value. So the item that isn’t listed as a value is time management, since it describes a behavior that supports value-driven living rather than a value in itself.
