The Hartman Value Profile (HVP) goes beyond behavior to assess how employees think and make decisions. It measures judgment across three key value areas:

Intrinsic (People-Focused): Prioritizes relationships and emotional connections.
Extrinsic (Task-Oriented): Focuses on practical tasks, actions, and responsibilities.
Systemic (Strategic Thinking): Values logic, structure, and rules.

The HVP helps businesses improve decision-making by identifying how employees process information and make choices. For instance, an employee with strong Intrinsic values may prioritize people and relationships when making decisions, whereas someone with strong Systemic values may focus on rules and procedures.

By understanding these differences, managers can delegate tasks more effectively, ensuring that employees’ strengths are fully utilized. This also helps reduce workplace conflicts, as employees begin to understand why their colleagues approach situations differently.

The HVP writeup includes the following.

1. Introduction to Judgment and Values: Explains the role of intrinsic (people-oriented), extrinsic (task-focused), and systemic (big-picture) judgments in daily decision-making, emphasizing how values shape actions and outcomes.

2. Decision Making Judgments: Evaluates how the individual approaches work-related decisions and processes including the ability to notice and act.

3. Internal Judgments: Focuses on personal judgment, self-awareness, and self-care. High scores reflect strong self-regard, personal balance, and the ability to navigate internal challenges effectively.

4. Balance Indicators: Measures the individual’s ability to balance people, tasks, and ideas in both external and internal contexts. Balanced scores indicate harmony in relationships, task management, and long-term planning.

5. Attitude and Stress Index: Measures resilience and ability to manage stress in both external and internal contexts. High scores reflect calmness and emotional stability under pressure.
