Critical Thinking (HVP)
Ultimately, better judgment means better decisions.Critical Thinking is the key to making good decisions, solving problems, risk management and effective planning. Our results will depend on the critical thinking and decision making skills we apply as we move through the process. Decisions always precede action and action should be focused on using our strengths and minimizing limitations.
Contact a SpecialistMeasuring Critical Thinking with Hartman Value Profile (HVP)
Based on the work of Dr. Robert S. Hartman and Wayne Carpenter, the Critical Thinking assessment measures one’s capacity to make judgments about the world and one’s self according to our personal level of understanding (Clarity) and how much importance we place on it (Attention/Bias). People who score well in Critical Thinking also rate high in analysis, problem solving skills, overall job knowledge and performance. Weakness in our judgment opens up the risk for poor decisions which can lead to poor performance. When we understand potential limitations and blind spots, we can intentionally account for them to make balanced, conscious decisions.
Our ability to think critically and make sound, balanced judgments occurs subconsciously; it is fascinating that our brain is making decisions before we even consciously make them! Before any action can take place, our thoughts are subject to different biases in our judgment and are affected by our behavioral style, Emotional Intelligence, training and skills practice, reasoning ability and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is understanding Critical Thinking with HVP important?
The Critical Thinking with HVP assessment and report documents your brain’s natural selection process when making a decision, so it provides a foundation of understanding for each person of their thinking pattern. Thinking and mental processing ability, just like a musical talent or sports talent, can be learned and improved with intentionality and understanding.When we understand our biases, our values, our strengths and limitations and our blind spots, we can intentionally account for them to make balanced, conscious decisions.
How can we use this information to be sure we are making good, balanced decisions?
The goal with any assessment is to help create understanding and awareness so we can be more intentional. Knowing that our brains
are not always rational, we can work to anchor our decisions with prioritized information and be confident in our thinking ability.
For example, if we know that we value Practical Judgment in our Critical Processing Pattern, we know that we’ll likely bias our
decisions toward pragmatic results over other things. We can then be sure we are balancing our judgment by asking if there is something
that should be considered in other areas (Intuitive and Systems/Conceptual Judgment) so that we aren’t missing anything; we ensure we
are not making subconscious decisions by bringing our decisions to the forefront of conscious thought instead of operating by default.
Furthermore, if we understand our EIQ, our Motivators, our DISC style, and our Learning styles, we can see how there may be alignment
or tension between our thinking and processing patterns and our expression of our decisions.
Can Critical Thinking with HVP be used to benchmark new hires?
Assessments can play a vital role in employee selection when used appropriately. At Assessments 24x7, our Motivators assessment meets
EEOC standards for class protection and is frequently used as part of the selection process. We never recommend making a hiring decision
based only on assessment data, but when used in combination with other factors (interviews, referrals, skills and experience, etc.),
assessments can bring insight to selection decisions.
Our hiring & selection resources are an integration of three Core Assessments: DISC, Motivators, and Critical Thinking (Hartman),
providing detailed insight into what will help a candidate be successful in their new role or what might be required to support them.
