assessing the user'"'"'s readiness for a life stage transition based upon the collected user symptoms and other evidence wherein such assessing includes, in at least one interactive session with the user via the user access device over the communications network, measuring a plurality of life skill competencies, wherein the measuring of a plurality of life skill competencies includes generating quantitative scores based upon the numeric scoring system of the user'"'"'s self-image, self-management skills, risk/reward predisposition, interpersonal skills, and existence or non-existence of one or more syndromes and disorders;
using the reverse engineering diagnosis module, generating a plurality of potential differential diagnoses by comparing the user'"'"'s collected symptoms and other evidence of the user'"'"'s mental and emotional health with the symptoms and other evidence of mental and emotional health associated with each of the plurality of human syndromes and disorders stored in the reverse engineering diagnoses database;
ranking the plurality of potential diagnoses using the reverse engineering diagnosis module from most likely to least likely;
wherein the assessing of the user'"'"'s readiness for a life stage transition includes;
determining a composite score of the scores of the measured life skill competencies; and
comparing the composite score to the respective baseline composite score stored in the life skills baseline score database for the life stage transition, which baseline composite score is predictive of the user'"'"'s readiness or unreadiness for success in the life stage transition;
upon determining that the user'"'"'s measured composite score is greater than the baseline composite score, outputting to the user the measured composite score indicative of the user'"'"'s readiness for the life stage transaction.

Abstract
A computer-implemented mental and emotional life efficacy development system and method are disclosed which assist lay individuals to measure and improve their mental health and emotional capabilities and life skill deficits to increase the individual'"'"'s ability to achieve life efficacy. A scoring subsystem measures competencies or deficits in a breadth of critical life skills. The system provides feedback concerning personality traits and mental and emotional deficits and compares the user'"'"'s scores to the scores of those who are successfully navigating a particular life step. This pinpoints deficits for which the user can receive training and treatment tailored to that user'"'"'s personality and individual difficulties. Through the collection and aggregating of such symptoms, a preliminary diagnosis is made of the user'"'"'s mental health and life skills. This diagnosis is subsequently refined before it is used to offer emotion and/or mental health care treatment and life skills training for life efficacy competency.
