Autonomy
On the card, Autonomy means “to be self-determined and independent”. On Even Over’s map of values, it is in the area called Self-direction–action: choosing for yourself what you do. That area is on the openness to change side of the map.
How it was placed
The word names this value directly. Being self-determined and independent is choosing your own actions. The placement is our own and provisional.
