The Judgment Index™ assessment tool is based on the Standard Form of the Hartman Value Profile (HVP) and uses the copyrighted interpretative methods of C. Stephen Byrum, PhD. Robert S. Hartman, PhD created the HVP in the 1960s, and it was his work in the field of axiology—the science of value—which established the relationship of values to judgment. Steve Byrum was a student and graduate assistant of Dr. Hartman. Appropriate contributions by RCCS Judgment Index LLC are made to The Robert S. Hartman Institute annually to honor and advance Dr. Hartman’s work.
