In the 2011 issue of this journal, my “Babson Boulders: A Heuristic Exploration of the Dimensions of Value” asked a panel of four expert judges to consider Babson’s personal values and estimate the relative contributions of the Intrinsic (I), Extrinsic (E) and Systemic (S) dimensions of valuation to each of them. These new data were obtained from a sample of thirty-four novice college students. The dimensions of value were presented to them employing the analog terminology of Feeler (F), Doer (D), and Thinker (T) value dimensions, corresponding to Hartman’s Intrinsic, Ex- trinsic, and Systemic dimensions. The students were college sophomores and ju- niors. They were encouraged to give their best estimate of Feeler %, Doer %, Thinker % contributions. The results reveal an amazing degree of agreement. This is verified by statistical analysis.References
