Non-conformity
On the card, Non-conformity means “to question and challenge authority and norms”. On Even Over’s map of values, it is in the area called Self-direction–thought: thinking for yourself and developing your own ideas and abilities. That area is on the openness to change side of the map.
How it was placed
The word names this value directly. Questioning authority and norms is independent thought, in direct opposition to conformity. The placement is our own and provisional.
