## Abstract

Methods and systems for assessing perceptual characteristics are provided. In one embodiment, a process is applied which includes receiving at a processing device a first individualized perceptual domain, a second individualized perceptual domain, and a third individualized perceptual domain; receiving a first perceptual characteristic range of a behavior from the first individualized perceptual domain; receiving a second perceptual characteristic range of the behavior from the second individualized perceptual domain; receiving a third perceptual characteristic range of the behavior range from the third individualized perceptual domain; creating a current perceptual range from the first perceptual characteristic range of the behavior, the second perceptual characteristic range of the behavior, and the third perceptual characteristic range of the behavior; converting the current perceptual range into a 3-dimensional representation of the current perceptual range within the first individualized perceptual domain, the second individualized perceptual domain, and the third individualized perceptual domain; and presenting the 3-dimensional representation of the current perceptual range.
