The Candate Study (1991)
As part of her graduate studies at JFK University in 1991, Alison
Candate, M.F.C.C. (intern), conducted a survey of 31 randomly selected
individuals who took the Hoffman Quadrinity Process (HQP) between
the years 1985 and 1991. The survey set out to study what gains
the HQP could provide for its graduates after they left the eight-day
environment.
There was a wide range in the sampling of income and education,
which means that factors other than educational level or financial
ability have significance when measuring the degree of satisfaction
as perceived by these graduates of the HQP. Similarly, the study
also found that age, gender, marital status, previous therapy, previous
human potential experience, or even how recently they had attended
the HQP, were not determining factors in graduates’ perceptions
of value.
In her study, Candate concludes: “The HQP clearly
fosters enhanced feelings of responsibility and control, and increased
self-liking and self-acceptance.”
Here are representative excerpts from that study:
Perception of Change

Value of Program
Percentage answering “Very True” or “Generally
True” |

The Quadrinity Process was one of
the most valuable experiences I ever had. |
| 97% |
I would certainly recommend the Quadrinity Process
to friends, co-workers, or family members. |
| 91% |
The Quadrinity Process was worth much more or
somewhat more than the cost. (Note: the other 9% said the value
was about equal to the cost.) |
