Core Values Index

At JJacobs Capital, we believe in harnessing the power of cutting-edge tools to optimize our hiring, repositioning, and coaching processes. One such tool that has proven to be invaluable in our approach is the Core Values Index (CVI). The CVI stands out from traditional personality tests as it focuses on measuring innate preferences, making it an ideal tool for identifying the right candidates for our organization.

Unlike personality tests that often measure adaptability or ability, the CVI delves into the core values and innate energies that drive an individual’s fulfillment in their work. This assessment goes beyond determining if a candidate is capable of the job; instead, it identifies what truly fulfills them about the work they do. This is a critical distinction, especially when considering hiring, repositioning, or coaching employees.

One of the key advantages of the CVI is its ability to showcase the four innate human energies that dictate specific future performance. These drivers influence behaviors and desired work, ultimately contributing to the development of self-esteem. By understanding these innate energies, we can align the tasks of a job with an individual’s nature for maximum productivity and meaningful contribution.

With a remarkable repeat-reliability score of 97.7%, the CVI outperforms other assessments in terms of consistency. This reliability is crucial for making informed decisions about candidates, leading to lower turnover and higher productivity and job satisfaction among our employees.

The efficiency of the CVI is evident in its ability to reduce time and expenses on the HR side. By immediately ranking candidates based on their innate preferences, our HR staff can focus on those who are the best fit for our organization from the start. This eliminates the guesswork associated with traditional personality assessment tools, providing a more accurate and streamlined hiring process.

The CVI also stands out for its user-friendly nature. It requires just 10 minutes to complete, contains no self-reporting, and presents only positive values, creating a comfortable and positive experience for users. Furthermore, the CVI cannot be rigged or manipulated, ensuring that the results are genuine and reflective of an individual’s innate preferences.

Verified Results: The CVI achieved 97.7% repeat reliability in longitudinal studies. No other psychometric assessment or personality test even comes close to this level of reliability and accuracy. Source: Seattle Research Partners, 2014
