DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Reference is now made to Fig. 1, which is an illustration of a colored shape personality test page which is constructed and operative in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As seen in Fig. 1, the personality test page includes a plurality of icons having various geometrical shapes and colors, which are

^" arranged in a predetermined order. Each of the icons relates to one or more personality traits, and various groups of the icons represent additional personality traits.

In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention the personality test determines personality traits of an individual by presenting to an individual a multiplicity of icons formed of geometrical shapes, the icons solely or in combination representing a plurality of personality trait spectra; obtaining feedback from the individual as to the individual's preferences among the multiplicity of icons; and based on the feedback obtained from the individual, determining the individual's position along at least some of the plurality of personality trait spectra.

When conducting a personality test according to the present invention, a subject being tested is presented with a visual display including a multiplicity of icons and is asked to rank each of the icons according to his reaction to each of the icons. The ranking preferably is in the range of -2 to 2, where -2 and -1 respectively indicate a higher level and a lower level of aversion to the icon, 2 and 1 respectively indicate a higher level and a lower level of affinity to the icon, and 0 indicates indifference to the icon. The personality traits of the tested person are then determined based on his ranking of the various icons and/or on his ranking of subgroups of icons.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the multiplicity of icons is presented to the subject via a computer connected to a computer network, and feedback from the subject is obtained via the computer network.

As seen in Fig. I ₅ the preferred arrangement of icons also includes icons 100 and 102, which are not ranked by the subject, but rather are employed as a visual stimulation to the subject when ranking icons 1 - 37, and form part of the visual experience of the personality test of the present invention.

Icon 100 is a small hollow black circle, and icon 102 is formed of a plurality of circles in different colors, together forming a shape which can be delimited by a hexagon. Preferably, icon 102 includes, in clockwise direction, yellow, blue, purple, green, orange and red circles forming an outer border of the shape, and a central brown circle.

It is appreciated that each of the icons is preferably ranked by the subject individually of his ranking of any other icons, and that the combination of icons is used to analyze additional personality trait spectra only during analysis of the subject's ranking of the icons.

It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to what has been particularly shown and described hereinabove. Rather the scope of the present invention includes both combinations and subcombinations of the various features described hereinabove as well as modifications and variations thereof as would occur to a person of skill in the art upon reading the foregoing specification and which are not in the prior art.
