The Cake Theory
Understanding the Layers Behind Human Judgement
The Judgment Index™ helps you see the whole cake, not just what is visible on the surface.
Human judgement is built on interconnected layers. When the foundation is strong, performance is more consistent, decisions are sounder and people are better equipped to respond when pressure rises.
Self — Our Foundation
How we value and understand ourselves influences confidence, resilience, self-awareness and our ability to respond effectively when pressure rises.
Work — How We Apply Ourselves
How we approach our responsibilities, solve problems and engage with the work in front of us every day.
Balanced Judgement — Bringing It Together
The ability to bring everything together, balancing people, situations and practical realities to make sound judgements.
Balanced judgement is where strong self-awareness
and effective work performance come together to support better
decisions, stronger leadership and healthier organisations.

★★★★★
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.
