Make better decisions -
before they become
costly mistakes

Understand how you evaluate people,
situations and opportunities

The Judgment Index™ is an online, values-based assessment for workplaces, leaders, coaches and individuals.

It provides insight into how people evaluate situations, weigh options and make decisions supporting recruitment, leadership, coaching, personal development, communication and wellbeing.

The assessment offers a different perspective from conventional personality or self-report questionnaires. Rather than asking people simply to describe themselves, it examines patterns in how value statements are evaluated.

This can create a useful foundation for honest conversations, meaningful reflection, and practical development.

TESTIMONIALS

Real experiences. Real impact.

★★★★★
Using the Judgment Index assessment in our company has given me more confidence in the hiring decisions of our managers across the country and has helped with development of our staff. We have noticed a 10% increase in staff retention and an 80% reduction in workers' compensation claims as a result of better hiring choices and people management since we started using the Judgment Index.

Most human resource assessment tools are at least a generation behind the current dynamics prevailing in modern organisations. What you have in the Hartman Value Profile (known as the Judgment Index™) is the next-generation human resource tool.

As Director of Business and Corporate Services, we sought an evidence-based, values-driven assessment tool that could offer participants meaningful insights into their leadership maturity and judgment, including their engagement drivers and opportunities for development. The Judgment Index™ delivered exactly that.

I have been using the Judgment Index since 2013 in my business. I have found it invaluable for my clients. The benefits for them in gaining insight for recruitment decisions cannot be overstated. The feedback, for instance, on the Blue Diamond report, allows for significant discussion and to better understand the candidate(s). Without this, I am sure there would have been many poor selections made, costing the organisation time and money.

In addition, the use of the JI for coaching has helped me specifically target areas for development which may never have been uncovered or thought of had the JI not been administered. For the person being coached, they have enjoyed the experience of completing a unique tool and the fresh ideas it can provide them to better perform in their roles.

I have had organisations contact me because they have heard of the JI and how they can make better, quality judgements with their decision making.

Important information

The Judgment Index should complement, not replace, structured interviews, reference checks, work samples, clinical assessment or validated cognitive and personality measures.

Results are most useful when interpreted by trained users and considered alongside other relevant information.
