Introduction
The Value Profile provides crucial information for the entrepreneur and the intra-preneur, defining with scientific precision the way you think. It hits the center of the target every time, measuring your abilities and motivation to perform with regard to twenty-five key factors connected to career success as an entrepreneur, or, intra-preneur.
In today's world, we are all entrepreneurs (self-employed), or intra-preneurs (other-employed). Whether you are an entrepreneur or intra-preneur, success in the 21st century is going to require you to think, plan, and value your work as IF you DO own the company.
Insights gained through the Profile create an opportunity for a sizeable impact on performance, productivity and profitability for the individual being profiled.
You can re-chart your journey as necessary or desired to reach a more favorable destination. Choices include taking a different route, travelling on an entirely different path, or taking the same trip and the same route, but with a lot more confidence and enjoyment.
The Profile experience encourages you to acknowledge and focus on your strengths, accept the areas which are not as strong, and ensuring that these "limitations" don't get in the way. The results from this simple shift in attention are extraordinary!
By focussing on strengths, you can apply your time and energy to the areas which are most productive. In fact, one or more areas of strength may have never been used before! An area of less strength can be handed off to an employee, partner or vendor who possesses that particular strength. If practical or necessary, you can choose to become stronger in this area, now that you've pinpointed and isolated it.
By leaning on strengths and thereby spending more time on those activities which produce greater results, cash flow and enjoyment, you create a treasure trove of added fulfillment and positive results, on a daily basis.
By accepting limitations, we release the pressure to be good at everything. We gain control by release, by not allowing limitations to get in the way of our success.
How the Profile Compares
The Value Profile goes way beyond that of other assessment tools on the market. It measures purpose and passion because participants are asked to feel as well as think. Rather than asking only the questions "what?" and "how?", the Profile also asks "why?" the what and how have come to be.
Although other profiles measure abilities and perceptions, they don't measure the factor which is hardest to observe, but most important to understand..... that which has meaning for and motivates an entrepreneur and which provides the particular focus that will create brimming success rather than extraordinary mediocrity - the joy of fulfillment instead of the shallow satisfaction of just getting by. This factor is measured by seeing "why" we do what we do and think what we think.
This science of Axiology is one of the great breakthroughs of the 20th century, and now, you can use it to measure your values with the certainty of a ruler measuring an inch.
It is not apparent from the Profile instrument how a particular response will equate to a rating or score. Therefore, participants cannot intentionally control the results. Other assessment tools give away the response/rating relationship by making it obvious in the nature of their tests. Results are therefor dependent on the integrity of the person being profiled.
The Profile measures unique patterns that belong to each individual. Two groups of eighteen items are ranked from best to worst, or by degree of relative good or bad. Each group can be ranked in 6.4 quadrillion ways. The Profile is based on advanced mathematical formulas and provides scientific accuracy plus a level of individual detail unmatched by other assessment programs.

What the Profile Measures
Each test measures three different types of values. Values are core personal traits and are key ingredients in the recipe of success and fulfillment. The three types of values: intrinsic, extrinsic and systemic are each measured six times in both eighteen item tests.
Intrinsic values, the highest order of value, include the capacity to appreciate ones self, other people and the surrounding world. They also include the attachment of meaning or motivation to something. The worth of intrinsic values is infinite and cannot be measured.
Extrinsic values, the next order of value, include those values associated with building things, producing results, measuring, and comparing using the five senses. It also reflects our attitude and value towards earning money. Extrinsic values can always be quantified and measured.
Systemic values have to do with the way we view and interact with systems, structure, rules, laws, order, policies, beliefs, right and wrong, good and bad, organizations and institutions. These values are dualistic - there are only two dimensions of value. Typically, there are two ways of viewing that which is systemic - it's right, or wrong - it's good, or bad.
Dr. Hartman discovered, and then mathematically proved, that we can measure our values in these three dimensions with precision and accuracy.
The Profile's History
Today, the Value Profile is one in a growing stable of "value" profiles, all of which measure the three levels of values described above.
There are profiles for personal performance, career (entrepreneurs and intra-preneurs) hiring and developing employees, salespeople, customer service people, tele-marketers, and team-building, managers, executives, and CEOs. Currently in development, or with studies underway, are value profiles for teens and adolescents, relationships and a value profile that can measure and assess tolerance to risk and investing.
The history of the Value Profiles can be traced back over fifty years to pre-World War II Germany. Dr. Robert Hartman, creator of the Hartman Value Profile, was born in Germany in 1910. As a young man, Hartman was a lawyer and magistrate who actively worked against Adolph Hitler and his Nazi party. He chose to leave Germany when Hitler rose to power. Although raised Catholic, Hartman's father was Jewish. He feared for his life, his family, and his country.
As an international professor of philosophy, Hartman devoted the rest of his life to studying and teaching human values, and is credited with the discovery of the theories and mathematical models behind applied Axiology, the science of human values. His life's purpose was to answer the question, "Why does a killer in war get a medal, when a killer in peace gets the electric chair?" Really, he pondered "what makes good people do bad things?"
Robert Hartman read and wrote in fifteen languages and spoke seven languages. He developed the Hartman Value Profile out of a commitment to help individuals and organizations reach their potential for success and to be of highest service to others. As a result of his life's work in value mathematics, and his contribution to peace in the world, he was nominated for a Nobel Prize in 1973 shortly before his untimely death.
The Value Profiles have been improved, refined and expanded over many years with the help of Dr. Hartman's doctoral students and others, most notably Wayne Carpenter of the Value Resource Group.
Value Profiles Today
In the past, processing and interpretation of the Hartman Value Profile, which utilizes complex mathematics and calculus, required hours of time and the experience of axiological professionals.
With the advent of computers and the development of specialized softwareas well as new training technologies, Value Profiles are now available for a fraction of their previous cost - a cost which is now very affordable to all individuals and businesses, small and large.
Wayne Carpenter and Mitch Axelrod, two pioneers of modern Axiology, have worked for more than 40 years with dozens of assessment tools. After seeing the results of this profile with tens of thousands of people world-wide, Carpenter and Axelrod are convinced none approach the Value Profile in accuracy, level of detail or depth of measurement.
We use the full line of Value Profiles as a foundation for coaching, consulting and development work performed for many types and sizes of businesses, some of which are among the most successful and well-known companies in the world. We also now have the privilege of making this breakthrough science and process available to every single person, from eight to 80.
Today's Value Profile embodies over thirty years of extensive testing, including hundreds of validation studies, and thousands of individuals profiled. The results have proven conclusively that the Profiles work as intended, and can be relied upon to provide valuable and constructive information to serve the purposes for which they were created.
The Profile Process
Supplying data which reflects an individual's values is a simple process. Two sets of eighteen items each are ranked in order of relative good and bad to the person doing the ranking. The "right" answers are those which reflect the true and unique values of this person. The survey takes only 15 minutes to complete.
A 20+ page report is generated, which rates your overall degree of strength in five major categories that research has revealed are the 25 most critical characteristics for success:
Knowing What To Do - the ability to identify crucial issues, to see, understand and plan for future consequences of decisions and actions.
Knowing How To Do It - the ability to see what needs to be done, who needs to do it and how it can best be accomplished.
Planning and Organizing - the ability to identify the short and long range needs and implications of a situation, to set goals which are realistic and to develop plans of action which will attain these goals in an effective and efficient manner.
Getting Things Done - the ability to focus ones energy on tasks and follow them through to completion while dealing with all the related stresses and strains, without losing direction.
Working Through Others - the ability to work with others in a positive, cooperative and supportive manner, seeing and appreciating their value and uniqueness.
Here are the 25 capacities measured by the Career Success Profile.
Here's a free eBook with a sample of the 46 capacities measured by the Sales Success Profile.
Success doesn't require you to excel in all these arenas, or possess
all these characteristics. You maximize your full potential when
you take advantage of every strength you have, without letting
your deficits get in the way. How? You others who can complement
you in your development areas. This is true for everyone, entrepreneurs
and intra-preneurs alike.
In these categories, capacities are measured with the accuracy of a ruler measuring an inch. Each capacity is rated on a scale with four degrees of risk distinction - low, situational, conditional and real, or five degrees of potential - from unclear to excellent. These distinctions are explained in the synopsis pages, and specific descriptions of each of these show up in the "Strengths and Development Comments" section.
Recommendations to build upon strengths and balance development areas are found in the coaching and counseling sections, called"Using Your Talent" and "Focusing Your Growth." Finer distinctions are detailed in the "Sources of Flow" and "Sources of Interference" sections. In short, the profile report gives you a wealth of information for interpretation.
Using the Value Profile you can:
* Identify how the biases
in your thinking affect your decisions
* Recognize how your decisions impact the results you get
* Apply all of your natural talents to their fullest potential
* Develop/maintain realistic attitudes that will lead to your
success
