We were fortunate to
be trained in the attributes profiling by Jay Niblick of
Innermetrix. This is what Jay has to say about axiology.
"What is axiology?
This is the science that Abraham Maslow used as the basis for
his Hierarchy of Needs. Dr. Timothy Leary, of 1960's Harvard
fame, performed research with it. Axiology was measuring
Emotional Quotient before Dr. Goleman ever graduated high
school. Eventually, Dr. Hartman was even nominated for the Nobel
Prize for his work in creating a formal science of axiology.
Dr. Hartman, a
professor at Yale, MIT, U.T., and The University of Mexico,
created this extraordinary profile to help him understand the
thinking patterns that people use to make decisions each and
every day. His 30 years of research have showed that people can
take specific perspectives when they make decisions and the
profile he created to measure these preferences is at the root
of the ITP. This represents a scientifically proven way to
quantitatively measure many of the soft skills previously deemed
immeasurable. Our thinking preferences dictate how we perceive,
and our perceptions control how we react or behave. By
understanding how we perceive the world around us, we are able
to see the underlying drivers behind our actions."
