Standard Hartman Value Profile: Pomeroy Interpretation, Validation (HVP-PIV)

Part II: QUOTATIONS
DIRECTIONS

On the right you will find 18 quotations. Each quotation concerns something on which individuals may place different "values" (good or bad) - depending on their own feelings about how much they agree or disagree with it.

Read all of the quotations carefully. (If there is a word that you do not understand, ask what it means or look it up.)

Write the number "1" in the box by the quotation you agree with most - that is, the one which has the highest (most) value in your own life.  

Write the number "2" in the box by the quotation which you agree with next most (second most).

Number all of the quotations in the same way, to show the order of their respective values to you. Use a different number for each of the 18 quotations (3, 4, 5, and so on). The number "18" should be in front of the quotation that has the lowest (least) value in your own life - that is, the one you disagree with most.

Use the column of boxes on the left of the quotations for practice. Check to be sure the number you have assigned each phrase expresses your feeling, making any necessary changes. Then, copy the numbers in the final column of boxes on the right.

Decide quickly how you feel about each of the quotations. There is no time limit, but most people are able to complete numbering all the quotations in about twelve to fifteen minutes.
