Attention, these are self-issued credentials, the value that can be attributed to them is relative, it all depends on the dApp that accepts them. To have greater reliability, you should have verifiable credentials (VCs) that are issued by some dApps, which are responsible for verifying a certain type of information. An example of VCs are those issued by kyc-me, with which it is possible to obtain the Kyc-me Badge on Pasar.
