What is Axiology?

The formal science of axiology, developed by the late Nobel Prize nominee, Dr. Robert S. Hartman, enables us to identify and measure the internal valuing systems (our capacity to to make value judgments and decisions) that influence our perceptions, decisions and actions - to clearly understand how we think and "why" we do what we do!

In short, what we value, relative to all else, determines the choices we make, conscious and unconscious. For example, if I values doing things my way more than the camaraderie of being part of a team, I am more likely to want to be in business for myself or have a job with a great amount of autonomy. That may seems simple and innocuous on the surface, but it may also cost me quite a bit. Taking it a step further, if I over value doing things my own way, it may be very difficult for me to work with other people or accept other people's ideas about how something should be done. As a result, my actions and behaviors may also make it difficult for other people to work with me.

Dr. Hartman is widely credited with elevating axiology from being a natural philosophy (based in theory and ideas) to being a natural and formalized science (based on empirical data through valid measurement). The field of physics, for example, was once a philosophy - a set of theories and ideas. It was not until scientists discovered the mathematical principles and instruments for empirical measurement (i.e. gravity, the speed of light, mass and volume) that physics became recognized as universal laws of nature.

Formal Axiology helps us to understand the natural laws of thinking and behavior. It provides a model for what actually constitutes a hierarchy of value from highest to lowest. It is not psychology though it sheds light on psychology. It is not neuroscience, yet discoveries in neuroscience support the axiological model.

Based on over five decades of research, the Hartman Value Profile (HVP) assessment instrument provides mathematical means of actually measuring people's thought processes using the formal axiological model. Specifically, the HVP, provides a means to measure how well a person's current thinking aligns or doesn't align with the universal and mathematical hierarchy of value. Over 100 studies have been used to validate the Axiological model including an extensive study using a database of over 40,000 people from executives to entry level workers. Of significant importance is that the assessment can be re-administered to the same person over a period of months or years with no loss of scientific accuracy or practical relevance - unlike most "personality profiles" it can not be manipulated.

The 6 Advisors™ system, uses the Hartman Value Profile, as the basis of a proprietary report designed to provide the coach and consultant highly accurate and practical insights into the nature of an individual's thinking. It clearly identifies where their thinking supports and/or sabotages their success - however they define it.

From this starting point, though our programs and services, we apply time-tested, principle-based practices that help the client dramatically improve their thinking and, therefore, their performance. These proven principles are in line with the latest finding of neuroscience and are so effective that we can actually predict and measure the results over time.

Let us give YOU a real-world demonstration
of the power of our system.
