The Hartman Value Profile | ||

What is the HVP? Research has found that individuals think first, and then feel emotions and take action to achieve results. When new results are desired, understanding and changing one's thinking style is the key to continuous learning and improvement. The Hartman Value Profile (HVP) provides this understanding as no other instrument can. 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. 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. In 1973, Robert Hartman, the developer of the Value Profile, received a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize for his theory of valuing and the Value Profile. Since then, the HVP has been the basis for an extensive series of validity studies and refinements. Today it is the next generation of assessment instruments. In its accuracy, objectivity, and simplicity of administration, it is unmatched. Coaching & Creating Individual Development PlansThe Profile reports provide a clear picture of the individual's actual capacities. It also includes recommendations for development that are specifically targeted to the risk areas which that individual will experience.

"I have worked with many assessment tools over the years. Given the brevity and ease of taking the survey I was amazed at the depth and accuracy of the profile summary. In my experience it usually required extensive assessment to get as accurate and personalized a summary as this tool delivers. When development planning can be improved through the use of assessment tools this one is a very good choice."

"Frankly I was not expecting much because I was put off by the unconventional nature of the questions, even though the survey took only a few minutes of my time. While I have taken (and given) many managerial assessments over the course of my 30 year career, I have not encountered one as incisive and profound in evaluating my style and improvement needs. I can heartily recommend this system as a good investment."
