First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for matching a computer user with target information, the method comprising:
- creating a psychological classification significance pattern for a user by using a psychological test that measures adaptive style;
creating a classification index for the target information, wherein the classification index can be matched to one or more elements of the psychological classification significance pattern of the user; and
finding target data whose classification index matches one or more elements of the psychological classification significance pattern of the user, wherein use of the psychological classification significance pattern is consensual and under the user'"'"'s control during its use.

Abstract
A computer-implemented system for creating a classification significance pattern for end users, and enabling end users to use their classification significance pattern to conduct custom searches for target information, such as information about products, services, and jobs, as well as enabling third parties, such as vendors and potential employers, to target their advertisements to groups of users meeting a certain classification. A classification significance pattern is created by having a user take a psychological test, for example, that includes a personality test, a design taste test, a recreation/travel test, a life satisfaction test, an interactive game module, or a career/job test, and having the system automatically score such test and classifying the user based on a defined abstract classification.
