Abstract
According to one embodiment of the present invention a computerized voice-analysis device for determining an S,H,G profile is provided (as described herein, such an S,H,G profile relates to the strengths (e.g., relative strengths) of three human instinctive drives). Of note, the present invention may be used for one or more of the following: analyzing a previously recorded voice sample; real-time analysis of voice as it is being spoken; combination voice analysis—that is, a combination of: (a) previously recorded and/or real-time voice; and (b) answers to a questionnaire.
Claims25
A method for analyzing a voice of a speaker, comprising:
- receiving, by a computer, data indicative of speech from the speaker;
- storing, by a computer, the received data in at least one database;
- calculating, by a computer, based upon the received data, an average intensity value for each of a plurality of frequencies, wherein the calculation of the average intensity value for each frequency is based on:
- i) dividing, by a computer, the received data into a number of time periods;
- ii) obtaining, by a computer, an intensity of the speaker's speech for each frequency during each time period;
- iii) obtaining, by a computer, a sum of intensity values for each frequency during all time periods;
- and
- iv) dividing, by a computer, the sum of intensity values for each frequency by the number of time periods;
- calculating, by a computer, based upon the received data, a maximum intensity value for each of the plurality of frequencies, wherein the maximum intensity value for each frequency is the highest intensity of the speaker's speech for each frequency during all time periods;
- calculating, by a computer, a level of a survival element of a personality profile of the speaker based upon at least one of:
- (a) a rapid change in the average intensity value between at least a portion of the plurality of frequencies;
- and (b) a rapid change in the maximum intensity value between at least a portion of the plurality of frequencies;
- calculating, by a computer, a level of a homeostasis element of the personality profile of the speaker by measuring a distance between the average intensity value and the maximum intensity for each frequency of at least a portion of the plurality of frequencies;
- calculating, by a computer, a level of a growth element of the personality profile of the speaker based upon at least one of:
- (a) determining, by a computer, a frequency range within at least a portion of the plurality of frequencies in which the average intensity value of each frequency within the frequency range is higher than a value that is equal to a predetermined percent of the highest average intensity value within the frequency range of the at least a portion of the plurality of frequencies,
- (b) determining, by a computer, at least one frequency within at least a portion of the plurality of frequencies that has the highest maximum intensity value among the at least a portion of the plurality of frequencies, and
- (c) determining, by a computer, a level of correlation between changes in intensity values during the time periods of a first frequency and changes in intensity values during the time periods of a second frequency;
- and
- outputting, by a computer, an indicator of the personality profile of the speaker based upon a combination of the calculated level of the survival element of the speaker, the calculated level of the homeostasis element of the speaker, and the calculated level of the growth element of the speaker.
