Demonstration of HVP-Valuemetrics

Axiological Psychology and HVP-Valuemetrics are the foremost  applications of Axiological Science resulting from a transformation of Hartman's mathematical model of value and moral phenomena unfolding in the pages of "The New Science of Axiological Psychology" in which the results of tests and measures are summarized validating Hartman's mathematical model.'

HVP-Valuemetrics (Axiometrics) is a value profiling methodology derived from the principles and framework of axiological science developed by philosopher R. S. Hartman and systematically validated by psychologist and biologist Leon Pomeroy, Ph.D. 

HVP-Valuemetrics is a test consisting of two lists of eighteen items each. This is a paper and pencil test requiring about 15 minutes to complete. Computer processing of the results identifies three basic cognitive dimensions common to valuation, thinking and attitudes and measures their sensitivity, balance, and order of influence having emotional, motivational, and behavioral consequences.    

The HVP exists in many forms and can be adapted to many applications. It may also be interpreted at several levels: 1. The first and most basic level is that of philosophical interpretation available to the general public.  2. The second level of interpretation lies in making the scores available to those who are trained to interpret them. 3. The third level of interpretation is psychosocial in nature and is limited to licensed professionals in the field of medicine and psychology. 

Training workshops and seminars are available to those wishing to become knowledgeable in the administration, scoring, interpretation, and application of this assessment procedure. 

Because human beings are in fact "prisoners" of their values, tapping into cognitive processing dedicated to valuation amounts to simultaneously assessing values, attitudes and beliefs in a manner that provides rich and meaningful hypotheses concerning personality organization and probable behavioral patterns. The Hartman Value Profile: Pomeroy Interpretation-Validation is a values (attitude and belief) clarification, values (attitude and belief) appreciation, and values (attitude and belief) assessment procedure of proven validity and reliability set forth in the pages of Dr. Pomeroy's "The New Science of Axiological Psychology." published by Rodopi Press, 2005. 

Values, attitudes, and beliefs are the "stuff" of emotions, motivations and behavior as well as spiritual awakening. The assessment of these cognitive dimensions is the "royal road" to the fulfillment of the Socratic imperative of knowing one's human nature simply expressed as "know thyself."
