Abstract
A method and system for candidate matching, such as used in match-making services, assesses narrative responses to measure candidate qualities. A candidate database includes self-assessment data and narrative data. Narrative data concerning a defined topic is analyzed to determine candidate qualities separate from topical information. Candidate qualities thus determined are included in candidate profiles and used to identify desirable candidates.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, narrative information associated with a user;
- receiving, by the computing device, data describing at least one personal quality associated with the user;
- analyzing, by the computing device, the narrative information in order to determine one or more probable personal qualities associated with the user;
- and
- determining, by the computing device, quality ratings for respective personal qualities that are described by the received data and are associated with the user, wherein the determining is based on comparisons of the respective personal qualities to corresponding respective probable personal qualities that were determined.
A computing system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable medium storing machine-executable instructions including one or more modules that, if executed by the processor, cause the computing system to:
- receive narrative information associated with a user from a first computing device;
- receive data describing at least one personal quality associated with the user from a second computing device;
- and
- determine quality ratings for respective personal qualities that are described by the received data and are associated with the user, wherein the determining is based on comparisons of the respective personal qualities to corresponding respective probable personal qualities that are determined based on the narrative information associated with the user.
A tangible computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, if executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- accessing narrative information associated with a user from a first computing device;
- accessing data describing at least one personal quality associated with the user from a second computing device;
- and
- determining quality ratings for respective personal qualities that are described by the accessed data and are associated with the user, wherein the determining is based on comparisons of the respective personal qualities to corresponding respective probable personal qualities that are determined based on the narrative information associated with the user.
