Standard Hartman Value Profile

On the right you will find 18 words or phrases. Each of these phrases (or words) represents something on which individuals may place different "values" (good or bad) - depending on their own feelings about how good or bad it is.

Read all of the phrases 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 phrase which represents the highest (most) value as far as you are concerned - that is, the one you feel is the best.

Write the number "2" in the box by the phrase which represents the next best (second best) value.

Number all of the phrases in the same way, to show the order of their respective values to you. Use a different number for each of the 18 phrases (3, 4, 5, and so on). The number "18" should be in front of the word or phrase that represents the lowest (least value to you - that is, the one that you feel is the worst.

Do not judge the expressions by the importance but only by the goodness or badness of their content.

Use the column of boxes on the left of the phrases 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 phrases. There is no time limit, but most people are able to complete numbering all the phrases in about twelve to fifteen minutes.
