"From an applied standpoint, the BEVI [Beliefs, Events, and Values Inventory] helps individuals, groups, organizations, and institutions: 1. Understand better what they believe and value about themselves, others, and the world at large. 2. Reflect upon how such beliefs and values may - or may not - be conducive to learning, personal growth, relationships, and the pursuit of life goals" (thebevi.com).

"From the perspective of evaluation and research, the BEVI: 1. Helps answer questions such as 'who learns what and why, and under what circumstances.' 2. Allows for the examination of complex processes that are associated with belief/value acquisition, maintenance, and transformation. 3. Analyzes the impact of specific experiences that are implicitly or explicitly designed to facilitate growth, learning, or change" (thebevi.com).
