Research & Methodology
VERINTIMO integrates six evidence-based psychological disciplines into a comprehensive assessment methodology. Here's how each contributes to your self-understanding.
The Integration
Psychological flexibility and values-based living
Unconscious patterns and archetypal structures
Embodied emotional wisdom and felt sense
Value judgment patterns and decision-making
Non-ordinary awareness, mystical experiences, and inner exploration
Assessment-based coaching and guided transformation
ACT is a third-wave cognitive-behavioral therapy developed by Dr. Steven C. Hayes that emphasizes psychological flexibility — the ability to be present, open up, and do what matters.
ACT has over 900 randomized controlled trials supporting its efficacy for anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior change. The Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS) maintains rigorous standards for ACT training and certification.
Rooted in the work of Carl Gustav Jung, Analytical Psychology explores the unconscious dimensions of the psyche — the hidden patterns, archetypes, and dynamics that shape our behavior beneath conscious awareness.
Jungian psychology has influenced modern psychodynamic therapy, trauma treatment, and personality theory. The Jungian tradition continues through institutes worldwide, with ongoing research in archetypal studies and symbolic analysis.
Developed by Dr. Eugene Gendlin at the University of Chicago, Focusing is a research-backed method for accessing the "felt sense" — the body's implicit knowing about situations that goes beyond what words can immediately express.
Gendlin's research found that therapy clients who naturally "focused" (paid attention to their felt sense) had significantly better outcomes regardless of therapeutic approach. This led to the development of Focusing as a teachable skill.
Notice what feels alive inside
Find the unclear bodily feeling
Get a sense of the whole thing
Check if words fit the feeling
Inquire what makes it feel this way
Welcome what has come
Developed by Dr. Robert S. Hartman, axiology is the formal study of value. Hartman's Value Profile (HVP) measures how individuals cognitively structure value judgments — revealing patterns that predict decision-making, relationships, and life satisfaction.
The Hartman Value Profile has been validated in hundreds of studies across psychology, business, and education. Research shows strong correlations between value judgment patterns and leadership effectiveness, relationship quality, and ethical decision-making.
Beyond everyday awareness lies a spectrum of consciousness — moments of profound clarity, unity, and transformation that reveal deeper dimensions of human potential. Research on expanded consciousness maps these territories of awareness.
Research on expanded states of consciousness bridges psychology and contemplative traditions, drawing from mystical experiences, psychedelic research, and consciousness studies. The field emphasizes that healing often requires accessing states beyond ordinary ego-awareness.
Assessment without integration is just information. VERINTIMO coaching bridges insight and transformation through personalized guidance that applies our psychological framework to your specific life context.
Our coaching methodology synthesizes evidence-based approaches: integrative coaching psychology, developmental coaching, and consciousness-based coaching. Sessions combine reflective inquiry with practical action planning. The assessment serves as the foundation, but the coaching relationship provides the container for genuine transformation.
The Synthesis
VERINTIMO's 12-dimension framework emerges from the intersection of these six disciplines. Each dimension of your assessment reflects insights from multiple psychological traditions:
Transparency
VERINTIMO is a self-discovery and personal growth tool. It does not diagnose mental health conditions or replace professional psychological evaluation.
Designed for individuals seeking self-understanding, personal development, and insight into their patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving.
Personality and values can evolve. Your results reflect your current state. Re-taking the assessment after significant life changes may yield different insights.
Works best alongside therapy, coaching, or reflective practices. The assessment provides insight; integration requires active engagement.
Results depend on honest self-reflection. The assessment measures your self-perception, which may differ from how others experience you.
For complex psychological issues, combine insights with qualified professional support. The report can inform therapy but doesn't replace it.
VERINTIMO stands on the shoulders of pioneering researchers and clinicians:
