Method for Creating and Using an Honesty and Credibility Rating System

Abstract

A method creates an honesty and credibility rating for a user. The method utilizes an algorithm to rate the user based on the information in any user data and/or records. The algorithm assigns an initial rating and subsequently subtracts from or adds to the initial rating a predetermined number of points for each negative and/or positive occurrence in the data and/or records. The method then creates and provides to the user an obfuscated identity that combines the rating with a variety of physical and/or digital identification means such as a wearable badge, a graphical identification, a QR (Quick Response) code, a webpage link, etc. Additionally, the method may remove some or all personally identifiable information for the protection of the user's sensitive information. Thus, the method provides a safe and secure honesty and credibility rating to be used by users to wear and display through physical appearance, digitally, online and social media postings.
