Why is the CFAM® assessment reliable for identifying personal values?

Minzer’s test is reliable because it uses the CFAM® method, a scientifically validated tool that allows discovering the predominant values in each person. Its methodology objectively evaluates individual values, providing precise results that reflect personal priorities and beliefs.

How does CFAM® identify company values?

For companies certified with Values-Based Company®, Minzer identifies values through the CFAM® Team & Company Diagnose®, an assessment where employees share how they live values in their daily work. This allows for a deep, experience-based insight into the company’s culture. For companies not certified with Values-Based Company®, Minzer gathers values from publicly available information, such as corporate values shared on their websites and official materials.

How is the compatibility of values between individuals and companies measured?

Minzer’s algorithm applies the scientific CFAM® method to identify your personal values and compare them with the values of hundreds of companies, highlighting those with Values-Based Company® certification. This ensures valid and objective recommendations of companies where your principles and worldview best align.

What scientific basis supports the CFAM® method and the Values-Based Company® certification?

CFAM® is based on the Competing Values Framework (CVF) by Quinn and Rohrbaugh, a recognized model in organizational psychology. This model allows measuring and analyzing key values that foster a strong and aligned company culture.

How does CFAM® measure the coherence of values in an organization?

CFAM® measures coherence by comparing the corporate values declared by the company with the results obtained in the CFAM® Team & Company Diagnose®, which gathers employees’ perceptions. This verifies whether the declared values are truly lived within the organization, providing key indicators about the authenticity and alignment of the corporate culture.

How does CFAM® measure the cohesion of values in an organization?

CFAM® measures cohesion through surveys that analyze two points: the values lived in the company and the personal values of the employees. This detects where values coincide and differ, generating key performance indicators (KPIs) that reflect the level of cultural alignment.
