You rank 18 value items twice by importance – once from the world's perspective, once from your self's perspective. Hard to manipulate, intrinsic.
You receive your complete Personal Audit Tool report (PDF) with 50+ metrics: values profile, value-creation capacity, stress patterns, blind spots.
We schedule your 1h coaching on Zoom. A certified Profilingvalues coach interprets your report with you and translates it into concrete next steps.
Profilingvalues® does not capture personality types or talent themes. It measures the structure of your values – what you consider important and how you evaluate situations, people and decisions. From this, reliable patterns for leadership, stress and value creation can be derived.
Shows the focus of your valuations: do you value primarily fulfillment, performance and status, or order, structure and interconnections?
Reveals how much constructive energy is available for pursuing your goals – and where it is blocked.
Makes visible which value conflicts intensify under pressure and how you typically make or avoid decisions.
Compares your self-valuation with the 'world' perspective and reveals gaps that create friction in everyday work.
Profilingvalues® is not a diagnostic tool and does not replace psychological or medical advice. Its value unfolds in the coaching conversation, not in the report alone.
Profilingvalues® is based on the Formal Axiology of philosopher and logician Robert S. Hartman (1910–1973). Below are verifiable references to Hartman's theory and to publications that address the validation of the Hartman Value Profile (HVP).
Hartman's principal work establishes Formal Axiology as a science of value. He distinguishes three value dimensions (intrinsic, extrinsic, systemic) and provides the mathematical foundation on which the Hartman Value Profile (HVP) and derivative instruments such as Profilingvalues® were developed.
Original HVP manual describing the ranking procedure, the 18 value items and the psychometric scoring logic. Still the primary reference for the methodology on which Profilingvalues® builds.
Peer-reviewed volume (Brill/Rodopi, Value Inquiry Book Series) with a systematic review of reliability and validity studies on the HVP across several decades, including leadership, selection diagnostics and clinical applications.
Peer-reviewed volume that confronts Hartman's axiology with its academic critics. Important context: the axiological foundation is well established but – like any personality or values instrument – is subject to scientific debate.
Peer-reviewed journal that has been publishing research on values, values assessments and applied axiology since 1995 – including contributions on HVP-based instruments in leadership and organizational development.
The provider publishes documentation on psychometric quality criteria (reliability, validity), the ongoing development of the HVP and application studies in business and coaching contexts.
We cite primary sources (Hartman's work, peer-reviewed publications) and the provider's own documentation separately. Statements about effectiveness in coaching reflect our own practice at PurposeCoach® and do not replace controlled efficacy studies.
„CliftonStrengths showed me what I'm good at. Only Profilingvalues made visible why my job still drained me – my top values simply weren't in it."
„The report was an eye-opener, but only the 1h coaching put everything in place. I finally have words for something I've felt for years."
Comparison of the five assessments most commonly used in coaching and HR. Based on official provider information and scientific literature on the Big Five model.
| Model | Foundation | What it measures | Scientific basis | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Profilingvalues® | Hartman Value Profile / Formal Axiology | Values profile, intrinsic/extrinsic/systemic values, value-creation energy, stress & decision patterns | Axiological foundation by R. S. Hartman; psychometric documentation from the provider | Executive coaching, leadership development, talent management, succession |
| Gallup CliftonStrengths® | Positive psychology / strengths research (Gallup) | 34 talent themes; individual strengths ranking | Gallup meta-analyses on engagement, performance and wellbeing | Strengths-based leadership, team development, career coaching |
| DISC | Behavioral typology by W. M. Marston (1928) | Four behavioral dimensions (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Conscientiousness) | Widely used in practice; scientifically less validated than Big Five | Communication and sales training, team workshops |
| MBTI | Typology by C. G. Jung, operationalized by Myers & Briggs | 16 personality types across 4 dichotomies | Scientific literature partly critical (reliability of type assignments) | Self-reflection, team building, career orientation |
| Big Five (NEO-PI-R) | Lexical approach / Five-Factor Model | 5 personality dimensions: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism | The most scientifically validated personality model | Research, clinical psychology, personnel selection |
Profilingvalues® and CliftonStrengths® complement each other because they map different layers (values vs. talents). DISC and MBTI are often used in coaching for behavioral and type reflection; Big Five is primarily a research and selection instrument.
