THE VQ Assessment
Is your current thinking helping you? Do you feel like you are working uphill to get things done and move forward?
A VQ Assessment is NOT about personality, behaviors, how others see you, what you should be doing with your life, how messed up or
brilliant you are, what “type” of person you are, or the “bucket” into which others may want to label you. It is NOT even about how you see
yourself, but you will “see yourself” in the results.
This is a tool for immediate positive change. The fastest and most effective way to make meaningful and lasting improvements in your thinking is to make better use of the best ways of thinking you already have, rather than trying to “fix” your biases. With this program, you will learn how.
The Assessment objectively and scientifically measures the ways you think – how you make meaning of and value judgments about everything. Your unique ways of thinking are the underlying drivers of your “personality” and all your mental habits, decisions, choices, actions, reactions, behaviors, performance, and ultimately, the quality of your work and life.
You’ve likely had the experience of changing your mind about something when you’ve considered it from a different perspective. Conflicting perspectives and perceptions within our own mind often cause indecision, inner conflict, anxiety, and stress.
The meaning and perception we give things often leads to us making assumptions and projections. If our perception is off, the assumptions, projections, decisions, actions, and reactions we make are not likely to be optimal and could be quite detrimental to ourselves and others.
The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your thinking!
If you could objectively know which ways of your thinking are your best and which are not, would you want to make better use of your best? Would the ability to engage more of your best ways of thinking (perspectives with the greatest capacity for clarity and wisdom) make a difference in your life or work? Of course!! That’s what the Assessment is all about.
The Assessment is an objective, scientifically-validated, and amazingly accurate diagnosis of the ways you think – how you make meaning of and value judgments about everything. Your unique ways of thinking are the underlying drivers of everything you think and do.
What is the Assessment?
Since its creation, the Hartman Value Profile™, which our Assessment utilizes as its mechanism, has been scientifically validated by many leading researchers around the world (Hartman was nominated for the Nobel Prize). We have integrated recent advancements in neuroscience and psychology into our analysis process, dramatically improving the value of our reports over and above all other assessments.
The report examines a person’s thinking from 36 perspectives: Cognitive Assets, Cognitive Biases, and Cognitive Liabilities – and shares how you, your team, and top candidates think – it explains the impact each person’s thinking clarity and attention can have on perceptions, personal potential, and organization performance. It also identifies and articulates where you have clarity/balance, blind spots, sabotaging habits, self-imposed barriers, and how to access your best thinking, avoid damaging thoughts and reactions, make better decisions, and consistently get far more valuable results.
The Assessment can actually tell you how your candidates think, prioritize, and fit your team dynamic, unlike any personality profile, behavioral assessment tool, interview technique, resume review, or reference letter/call.
It can help you identify, simplify, and leverage the thinking of any team, in any room, and immediately create more net value.

FACTS
The Assessment is a diagnosis of how and how well you think from 36 axiological perspectives. Depending on the day, you have 12,000 – 50,000 thoughts, all “processed” through one or a combination of these 36 scientifically-definable perspectives.
Using the “short scale” number system, the VQ Profile Assessment has 36 categories with 4.1+ undecillion possible results. That is 4,102,069,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 different ways to rank order, to provide clarify in how you think.
Each perspective or “lens” is part of the “meaning-making, value-judging, story-telling, habit-dominated” machine within your unique “mind.” The assessment is extremely accurate, yet you may not initially recognize or agree with everything in your report.
It is possible that some of what the assessment suggests may not show up for you due to: (a) developed compensating habits or behaviors, or (b) the bias is simply a non-issue or not a liability right now, due to your current life circumstances.
The better you understand yourself and your team, the more effectively you can lead, make better decisions, and take action that enables you to achieve more of the things you want to accomplish more easily and effectively.
Research tells us, most people have 4.7 times more Cognitive Biases/Liabilities than Valuable Thinking Assets.
These Biases and Liabilities tend to drive or influence the vast majority of our behaviors, and, thus, our performance.
Failure, under-performance, and cultural toxicity tends to arise from the negative influence of Cognitive Biases / Liabilities.
Our best potential, engagement, and performance arises from thinking based in the positive influence of Cognitive Assets.
When you know Cognitive Assets, Biases, and Liabilities before you hire candidates, you can make better hiring decisions.
It only takes us 15 minutes to understand your thinking. You receive a 40+ page overview and a walk-through of your assets and biases/liabilities, how to overcome them, and how to dramatically improve and leverage your thinking.
