Values Assessment Webinar

A couple of months ago, I conducted a webinar on an overview of values assessments based on the work of Edward Spranger and the work of Allport. There are seven dimensions of value that help explain the reasons that drive an individual to utilize their talents in the unique way they do. This Values Index will help clients understand their motivators and drivers and how to maximize performance by achieving better alignment and passion for what they do. The Online Values Assessment measures seven dimensions of motivation:

• Aesthetic – a drive for balance, harmony and form.
• Economic – a drive for economic or practical returns.
• Individualistic – a drive to stand out as independent and unique.
• Political – a drive to be in control or have influence.
• Altruistic – a drive for humanitarian efforts; help others altruistically.
• Regulatory – a drive to establish order, routine and structure.
• Theoretical – a drive for knowledge, learning and understanding.

I compare this assessment with the PIA&V (from TTI) as well as Business Motivators (from Maximum Potential). All three measure similar aspects. This is a great complimentary assessment to go along with any of the other ones we offer at Assess Yourself. Platinum Rule®, Social Styles and Disc are all behavioural style instruments. Here is the presentation and be sure to listen to the audio which takes you through the slides.

Hi Roberta,

Good stuff here. I'm a TTI Value Added Associate, so you can guess this caught my eye. I'm looking forward to watching your webinar.

Looks like you've just split apart TTI's individualistic into two: individualistic and political.

I will concur that the motivators/values are a great complement to the DISC/Behaviors!

Thanks for the compliment.

You are right, the IMX version appears to split Allport's political into two: individualistic and political. TTI (as I mention in my audio) decided to call Allport's political -individualistic. I think the split is interesting but I have no idea how "valid" in psychometric terms it is.

After you look at the webinar, I hope you will comment and add thoughts to TTI's PIA&V. It has been a while since I used it.

Roberta,

Thanks for bringing Values to the forefront! I started with TTI's values when it was 1st introduced but have since switched to MaxPo (although I private label mine as Business Values and Motivators.) I've also published a book on the 6 values for anyone interested in learning more about them. You can find the book at http://www.understandingbusinessvaluesandmotivators.com/

Thanks for your great work.

Thanks Ira - glad to see I have readers who represent all three of the different "values" assessment that I reviewed.

Took a look at your web site and encourage others to do so as well.

I am thinking about adding this instrument to my new "Expat Family" coaching package along with Social Styles to help family members understand where some of the challenges in a new country may be coming from.
