Using Content Taxonomy with Views

Hello,

I have been searching all morning and have yet to come across the solution for my problem..

problem is:
I have successfully created a CCK content type using a taxonomy vocab. the user is asked to select his/her preferred cultures. so in simple terms form holding a series of checkboxes which the user merely selects their preferred cultures.

problem comes when I wish to display the selected cultures by that user for them to then sort into their top 5 cultures.

the sorting bit I can do using draggable views. however actually displaying the users selected cultures is something im finding difficult.

sorry for my novice of a question.. but its been one of those days.
