Introduction to Axiology - The Science Of Value

By Axiometrics

Dr. Robert S. Hartman discovered a new mathematical principle that defines the way we think and value. These principles form the core of a new science called Axiology, the science of value.

Axiology measures the ability to value. The capacity to value is a talent or ability by which we organize our thinking and emotions to make decisions or value judgments. Value talent is a measure of your ability to:

1. See and filter what is happening around you, and in you.

2. Build concepts and ideas by focusing on what is important to you.

3. Translate your ideas and expectations into decisions.

These three activities are the keys to understanding how we all make decisions.

The ability to make value judgments is a natural activity of the mind and is similar to musical talent and ability. Each person has certain inborn skills or aptitudes. Some individuals have an ear for musical notes; others can be taught to recognize the notes. Both types of individuals can develop their natural talent and apply this talent as musicians. In the same way, some individuals have better developed natural talent for making value judgments and can make better decisions. These individuals have a clearer idea of what is important, can see things which other miss, are very creative problem solvers, make decisions which always seem to be on target, and are sensitive to the needs and concerns of others.

Value talent, like musical talent or sports talent, can be learned and improved. The first step in developing your value talent is to identify your level of development, and to find our what specific types of talent you have. The value analysis is designed to let you come into contact with your ability to think and make value judgments about yourself and the world around you. This analysis will give you an opportunity to experience the biases which focus your thinking, the natural skills which your mind uses on a day to day basis to make decisions, the strengths which belong to you, the areas for development which can improve your ability to be you, and the combination of talent which defines your uniqueness.

Remember that the value analysis is not a psychological, intelligence, or aptitude test. Your value talent is a measure of your ability to utilize your intelligence, access your natural and learned skills, and control your emotions. Your value profile describes the unique patterns that belong to you and capture both the unique structure of the way you think as well as the way you change as you grow and develop. Your value profile is a slice out of time, a cross section of your life’s history showing where you are, how well you are using your talent, and the stresses and strains which you are experiencing.
