How do you measure values?
Axiology studies human beings from the perspective of their values, and believes that by studying how human beings are motivated by their values that you can tell a great deal about what drives people in the decisions they make and the actions they take. Dr. Robert S. Hartman was a philosopher, professor, and business professional who pioneered the science of values (”axiology”) as a field of study. Hartman’s work in the science of values serves as a tool for understanding human character.
What does the Judgment Index Measure?
The JI is a measure of one’s capacity to make judgements about the world and about one’s self. Judgement is a critical part of decision making, problem solving and interacting with one’s environment. The JI Model defines the individual’s value structure consisting of three dimensions, people (relational judgement), tasks (tactical judgement) and big picture (strategic judgement).
The JI assessment asks the individual to rank order each of the 18 value statements from high to low value. Each of the value statements has 9 evaluation combinations producing a corresponding score. These combinations create the 70 plus indicator patterns that are used to identify the work and personal strengths or areas in need of development.

Why are values important when to hiring great people?
For example, you can use the General Judgement and Safety report to identify how a candidate will perform in job safety. In addition to 13 other factors, the General Judgement and Safety report measures the capacity of a person to pay attention to directions, to follow directions with accuracy, and to respect the importance of directions. Stronger scores reveal a tendency to pay attention to instructions and explanations about how a process is to be accomplished safely and accurately.
Why is judgement important in developing or coaching others?
Having the ability to understand how someone thinks, acts and behaves increases the chance of engagement, successful change and understanding strengths or blind spots to enhance self-awareness.
Utilising the 40 page Personal Narrative report and Blue Diamond score sheet, an accredited JI coach can carefully study and review of this report with an individual to see how they deal with what life throws at them. Enabling and understanding of strengths as areas they should begin to trust and rely upon when needed. And then review the areas of improvement or further strengthening. Understanding self and what areas can be developed or worked on can significantly impact overall success in both work and personal accomplishments along with improving interaction and relationships with others.
How do data decisions create confident and authentic leaders?
Performance or a successful outcome is driven from leadership, communication, strategy, drive and results. Having a companywide or team report like the engagement index can take a snap shot in time to assist with a change strategy. Having the correct data can enhance the success of that change or decision for the change. Then providing a quick and reliable measure and review of the outcome.
Do I need training to understand the reports?
For the reports that are used for development, group data or leadership, they require accreditation to be able to interpret and provide useful guidance and advice to the individual.
JI Australia has a 2 day course developed to accommodate coaches, recruiters, human resource professionals, management consultants, and business owners. Our Judgment Index Affiliate Training has been approved for ICF Continuing Coach Education and ICF Resource Development credits detailed here on our ICF CCE credits page.
Following successful completion of the training you will be an accredited coach, able to generate and manage all your reports independently online and for approved partners there will be an option to apply for re-seller status with Judgment Index Australia, to enable integration of the value-based reports in learning and development programs and HRMS / LMS platforms.
