How is the reliability and validity of the ZERORISK assessment determined?

The Hartman Value Profile is the testing instrument underlying the ZERORISK Hiring System. It is the creation of the late Dr. Robert S. Hartman and is owned by the Robert S. Hartman Institute, University of Tennessee. It is an exercise that requires an ordered ranking of 18 different statements in two different lists. This forced ranking of the statements requires the candidate to evaluate each statement and compare it to every other statement. Added to Dr. Hartman’s two lists are two similar lists created by Dr. Robert Kinsel Smith. The candidate’s rankings of these lists are compared by the software to the rankings in the first two lists to further validate and check the reliability of the candidate’s responses. The resultant rankings demonstrate the candidate's different capacities and orientations in valuing.
