The Thinking Pattern Profile is like a “fingerprint of your thinking process”. It does a rank-ordering task then tracks the pattern in the decision you make.
The Thinking Patterns Profile™ is based on the Nobel-nominated research of Robert Hartman who developed the Value Profile. It is the only assessment of its kind that directly measures actual competency based on decision making. It measures competency quickly, easily and accurately, and it is quietly being used by some of the best companies in the U.S. to inform coaching and development. A personalized report identifies what a person pays attention to as they make decisions – and also what they don’t pay attention to. Therefore it provides a helpful indicator of the sources of one’s strengths and vulnerabilities.
Unlike self-report instruments, this instrument measures, not what a person reports they are like, but how they actually think. Not what they think, but how they think. It has the respondent perform a thinking task and then, using complex mathematics, produces a detailed picture of the person’s preferred thinking process. It provides objective information regarding such variables as one’s strategic thinking ability, attention to concrete detail, intuitive insight, persistence, consistency, systems orientation, sensitivity to others, confidence, optimism, self-regard, emotional control and drive level. In addition to its validity and reliability, the instrument has been tested according to EEOC criteria and found to be nondiscriminatory toward race, sex, or gender.
The advantages of the assessment include the following: administration takes about 15-20 minutes, it is objective and cannot be biased, it is simple in that it consists of the rank ordering of 18 items and 18 statements, it is nonobtrusive in that respondents are not asked to describe themselves or their experience, it is available in multiple languages including pictograph, it is supported by research, and its users report very high face validity. It has been very successfully used for recruitment, professional development, teambuilding, succession planning, self-esteem building and relationship building.
