Charting a Course for Personal and Professional Fulfillment

Actionable Insight

Transformation Begins with Thinking.
Based on Nobel-nominated Dr. Robert S. Hartman and his Hartman Value Profile, the MindScan™ assessment is an axiological inventory that measures a person’s capacity to make value judgments concerning the world and one’s self. Instead of simply understanding “how” a person behaves, it objectively measures “why” a person behaves the way they do, provides the deepest possible understanding of behavior in the workplace, and reveals precisely how to align your thinking strengths with your business plan to accelerate success.

Many validation studies exist to prove the authenticity of Formal Axiology and the MindScan. Attached is one study along with the summary result clipping below.
Sales Study by Value, Inc.
The study sample was 237 persons with 137 being salespersons from the insurance and estate planning industry.

The Ultimate Assessment

The Ultimate Assessment

A Better Way to Measure.
Unlike most other behavioral assessments, MindScan™ doesn’t measure what individuals think of themselves. The underlying flaw in the most popular and commonly used assessments is that they subjectively group people by type into a category of “HOW” they behave. Instead, the MindScan™ seeks the underlying truth of “WHY” a person behaves the way they do, based on their thinking patterns. Consider this – certain people might behave the exact same way (“HOW”) for completely different reasons (“WHY”); this means changing the behaviors of these two people would call for two completely different approaches.

Hide
  • MindScan output is derived from the science of “Formal Axiology” and NOT a sampling of a population.
  • The MindScan does not compare anyone within a sampling of a population because the MindScan is looking at the natural order and balance within the three primary dimensions of thinking to include Intrinsic Value (Relator), Extrinsic Value (Doer), and Systemic Value (Thinker)
  • The MindScan is NOT a personality test in that it measures the patterns of thinking that may result in our personality and/or behaviors deep within our natural patterns of thinking.
Thinking -> Actions -> Results
  • The results from the MindScan are actionable and can be applied for learning and development immediately.
  • The MindScan results are very measurable over time through awareness, development, coaching, mentoring, and training.

The MindScan™ Assessment is designed to objectively measure each person’s thought processes in “3D” (Three Dimensions):

First Dimension
Intrinsic Value
Separator dots
Measures how we value ourselves.

Determines our ability to love and be intuitive.
Second Dimension
Extrinsic Value
Separator dots
Reflects our economic and social understanding.

Measures our capacity for excellence in tasks, projects, and processes.
Third Dimension
Systemic Value
Separator dots
Reflects the ability to perceive structures, systems of order, rules of engagement, etc.

Measures capacity for strategic vision, long-range planning, implications, and consequences.
More powerful than the MindScan™ assessment is the resulting MindScan™ report.

Ultimately Actionable

More powerful than the MindScan™ assessment is the resulting MindScan™ report. Because it literally “shows” the way a person thinks, it provides a clear understanding of natural strengths, potential weaknesses, and how to maximize strengths while managing potential weaknesses for greatest potential, resulting in ultimate peak performance.

External
World
We are all constantly in communication and dialogue with ourselves and others around us. The External World shows how much clarity and attention “bias” we have in the three primary external dimensions of Relator, Doer, and Thinker.
Disregard
Empathy
How much clarity do we have in understanding others, and do we trust, enable, discount, or distrust others?
How much clarity do we have in understanding others, and do we trust, enable, discount, or distrust others?
Practical Thinking
How much clarity do we have to see all the options and the ways things could be done, and do we value taking action or lean toward being more cautious? The larger the clarity, the more options and possibilities we can see.

Structured Thinking
How well do we see structured thinking like rules, regulations, policies, procedures, and financials, and do we prefer everything to be perfect as it “should be,” or do we prefer to disregard the structure, rules, and processes?

Who Am I
My Being
(Relater)
The relator, also called intrinsic value in traditional psychology, refers to the value of self and others. “Who am I?”
What I’m
Doing Now
(Doer)
The Doer, also called extrinsic value in traditional psychology, refers to the value of what could be as in what are all the potential comparative options. “What could be?”
The Way It
Should Be
(Thinker)
The Thinker, also called systemic value in traditional psychology, refers to defined parameters of thinking. “What should be?”

World
We are all constantly in communication and dialogue with ourselves and others around us. The Internal World shows how much clarity and attention “bias” we have in the three primary internal dimensions of Self Empathy, Role Awareness, and Self Direction.
Disregard
Self Empathy
How much clarity do we have in understanding ourselves, and do we value or discount our feelings, emotions, and self-worth?
Role Awareness
How well do we understand our roles for ourselves and are we maximizing our full potential or not reaching our full potential?
Bias is the over or under-attentiveness within dimensions of thinking. A positive Bias of +10 indicates a high value or attention within that dimension while a lower Bias of -10 indicates a lower value or attention within that dimension. A Bias in the middle range of -2 to +2 indicates a balance Bias within that dimension of thinking.
Self Direction
How much clarity do we have in understanding our overall direction for self, and are we committed to this direction like a line in the cement, or are we more like a line in the sand or a leaf in the wind being very open to the commitment to our direction?
Clarity Scale
Outstanding:
Precise, Extremely Clear, Ease to Use.
Excellent:
Clear, Accurate, Ease to Use, A Source of Strength.
Very Good:
A little fuzzy, Some time to required to others’ views.
Good:
Hard to see others’ views, Lacking Precision.
Fair:
Very foggy, Very difficult to get clear ideas or use this thinking.
Unclear:
Blind, you cannot see with this thinking at this point.
Clarity ranges from an Outstanding large blue circle to an Unclear small brown circle. The larger the circle, the more clarity we have in being able to see and understand the entire scope and view within that dimension of thinking. The smaller the circle, the less clarity we have to see and understand within that dimension of thinking. The larger the clarity is much like a wide-angle telephoto lens with clarity, and the smaller the circle, the more narrow and blurry the view within that dimension.
