System and method for improving personality traits

A system, comprising:

• a general purpose digital processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions executable by the general purpose digital processor to transform the general purpose digital processor into an instrument for assessing a current level of a personality trait of a person, wherein the instructions, when executed by the general purpose digital processor, are operable to identify, from an input, information about an original assessment of the personality trait of the person, wherein the original assessment is indicative of an original level of the personality trait of the person;
• wherein the system further includes one or more data stores to retain one or more predefined sets of values corresponding to one or more action definitions, respectively, wherein each predefined set of values includes:
• one or more pairs of values for one or more traits, respectively, each pair of values indicative of a predicted impact of an action associated with a corresponding one of the one or more action definitions on a corresponding trait of the one or more traits, wherein each pair of values includes a weightage and an indication of whether to assign the weightage for a hormone or brain neural structure;
• and
• one or more deterioration values for the one or more traits, respectively, each deterioration value indicative of a predicted loss of impact over time associated with the corresponding action on the corresponding trait of the one or more traits, wherein each deterioration value includes a half life of a corresponding one of either the hormone's effect on the corresponding trait or the brain neural structure's effect on the corresponding trait;
• wherein the instructions, when executed by the general purpose digital processor, are further operable to deterministically modify a value associated with the original assessment using information taken from the one or more data stores to provide an updated assessment of the personality trait of the person, including:
• identifying one or more actions that are performed by the person and corresponding to at least one of the one or more action definitions, the one or more actions performed by the person following a first time corresponding to the original assessment value, said identifying the one or more actions including identifying at least one elapsed time value, wherein each elapsed time value is indicative of an amount of time between a second time corresponding to performance of an action of the identified one or more actions and a third time corresponding to the updated assessment;
• selecting from the one or more predefined sets of values based on the identified one or more actions, wherein the selected predefined set(s) of values include at least one of the pairs of values and at least one deterioration value;
• generating the updated assessment of the personality trait of the person based on the at least one pair of values, the at least one deterioration value, and the at least one elapsed time value;
• and
• outputting the updated assessment of the personality trait of the person for display to the person.
