As per Rokeach value survey, which of the following is not an instrumental value? Note: This question was dropped by UGC and marks were awarded to all candidates; the answer below is the best-reasoned one.
Wise
The Rokeach Value Survey divides values into two sets, and the question asks which listed item does not belong to the instrumental set. This item was dropped by UGC with marks given to all, but the best-reasoned answer is Wise.
In Rokeach's scheme, instrumental values are preferable modes of behaviour or means of achieving something - the ways in which a person conducts themselves. Terminal values are desirable end-states of existence - the goals a person hopes to attain in a lifetime. Ambitious, imaginative and capable all describe how a person behaves and works, so all three are instrumental values.
Wisdom, by contrast, is listed by Rokeach among the terminal values, as a mature understanding of life that one seeks to attain as an end-state rather than a manner of behaving. Because it names a goal rather than a mode of conduct, it is the item that does not fit the instrumental category.
Hence the value that is not an instrumental value is Wise.
