Personal training and development delivery system
First Claim
1. A personal training and development delivery system for providing systematic training and development reminders and exercises to a program participant over a communications network to reinforce the participant'"'"'s strengths and to modify the participant'"'"'s behavioral weaknesses, comprising:
- a personal profile application program providing a user interface to enable the participant to rank a plurality of statements on each of a plurality of value tasks;
a server hosting the personal profile application program, the application program comprising processing logic that blends a clarity score and a bias score for each of a set of value dimensions and each of a set of views determined from the ranking of statements on each value task into a single set of personal profile scores that are a measure of the participant'"'"'s strengths and weaknesses; and
analyzes the profile scores to determine the participant'"'"'s principal strengths and weaknesses; and
a personal training and development database including a plurality of training and development exercises which are selected and presented to the participant in a determined order to motivate ongoing participation based on an evaluation and multivariable analysis of the participant'"'"'s clarities and biases for the set of value dimensions and the set of views.

Abstract
A personalized training and development methodology that determines an individual'"'"'s strengths and weaknesses and automatically provides training and development exercises that focus on reinforcing an individual'"'"'s strengths and modifying his behavioral weaknesses. An individual logs on to the Internet personalized training and development training website, or an Intranet of his firm or company, and takes the Kinsel-Hartman Profile which includes four or five lists of 18 statements each. Each of the 18 statements in each list of the profile are formal representations of value combinations. An individual ranks all 18 statements in each list which in turn are used to create a profile report. This report presents the person'"'"'s blended scores of his thinking, combining his bias and capacities concerning each dimension of value. The report also gives a composite of his world thinking and one of his self thinking where all three dimensional orientations are put together into an overview of his perspective. The application software ranks those thinking orientations that serve as strengths and those that serve as weaknesses into an order that determines which training and development reminders are sent to the person and in which particular order. The application software then schedules the sending of those training and development reminders on a periodic basis.
