The Hartman Value Profile
In 1973, Dr. Robert S. Hartman, the developer of the Value
Profile, received a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize
for his theory of valuing and the Value Profile.
The Hartman Value Profile (HVP) is a unique
assessment
that identifies the thinking pattern of a person. The
HVP measures the pattern of decision-making which the
person uses when processing information about the world
and themselves.
The HVP is unlike other assessments in several ways.
First, it is not a self-report instrument. It does not ask the
respondents to describe themselves. Thus it is not as
vulnerable to bias as other personal inventories are.
Secondly, the profile places its emphasis upon thinking,
not behaving. It recognizes that the same behavior can
spring from different decision-making styles in different
people.
Why is the information on a person's thinking pattern so
powerful for a person's growth and development?
Research has found that individuals think first, and then
feel emotions and take actions to
achieve results. When a
person wishes to change the personal results they are
getting, understanding his thinking pattern is the first step to
the desired results. Identifying the thinking patterns that
are leading to the current results allows us to determine the
changes in thinking pattern that are necessary for the new
results we want to achieve. We can take steps to develop those
new thinking patterns.
The HVP allows us to determine this root thinking style that
lies at the base of a person's decision-making. The HVP
pinpoints capacities a person actually possesses and
suggests ways to leverage strengths in order to optimize
their impact. In this way the HVP is an invaluable tool for
assisting in personal and group development.
