Self-knowledge
On the card, Self-knowledge means “to have a deep and honest understanding of myself”. 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 has one clear link to this value and overlaps with others. An honest understanding of yourself is a form of independent thought. The placement is our own and provisional.
