Application of multi-media technology to computer administered vocational personnel assessment
First Claim
1. A vocational assessment system comprising:
- a computer administered modular multi-media normed personnel evaluation system, said system performing psychological assessment of an individual subject for suitability for particular jobs, whereby said individual is subject shown and provided with at least one of discrete visual and auditory stimuli on a multi-media computer screen;
wherein further said individual subject'"'"'s responses are monitored in conjunction with physiological responses received by biofeedback sensors;
said system further having a tally tallying said individual subjects recorded responses;
said system evaluating said individual subject'"'"'s ability to maintain task focus during vocational performance under pressure;
said system directly measuring said individual'"'"'s subject'"'"'s performance under pressure; and
said system further having a filter selectively rejecting selective veracity input from said individual subject.

Abstract
A multi-media method and system performs psychological assessment of an individual for suitability for particular jobs, whereby the individual is shown and provided with discrete visual and auditory stimuli on a multi-media computer screen, so that the individual'"'"'s responses can be monitored in conjunction with physiological responses received by biofeedback sensors. The computer tallies the test subject'"'"'s recorded responses. Virtual work environments are optionally displayed, to enable the tested individual to simulate a real work environment. Unlike other job evaluation systems, the system evaluates a job candidate'"'"'s ability to maintain task focus under pressure. It directly measures performance under pressure, rather than only inferring potential performance based upon selective input from a job candidate.

25. A computer-generated vocational assessment system comprising at least one virtual reality image simulating at least one vocational work environment to ascertain the best placement of a potential worker subject, said at least one virtual reality image simulating said at least one vocational work environment to provide data to selectively reject a person not suited for said at least one work environment being simulated, wherein selected skill sets including at least one of personality characteristics, values, interests, social awareness, distractibility and integrity are measured by analyzing responses of said potential worker subject to said at least one virtual reality image.
