By the time you get to the 10th value, this will have already been compared against the
previous 9, hence the blank boxes. Counting up the circles for each value, and entering the
count in the bottom left hand box, as they appear in italics in the example given. From this
example we can see that the prioritised order of values are as follows:
1. 1st Freedom 9
2. 2nd Authenticity 7

3. 3rd Love 6
4. 4th Forgiveness 6

5. 5th Honesty 5
6. 6th Peace 4

7. 7th Fun 4
8. 8th Fairness 2

9. 9th Well Being 1
10. 10th Security 1
