Career Selection and Psychological Profiling

Abstract

A method, software, database and system for determining optimal career choices, psychological profiles (i.e., mental health profiles) and genetic based predispositions of an individual are presented in which an attribute profile of the individual containing genetic and non-genetic attributes is compared against a database containing combinations of genetic and non-genetic attributes that are statistically associated with career, psychological and other genetically influenced attributes derived from other individuals.

1 . A computer based method for pangenetic based profiling of the mental health of an individual comprising:
 a) receiving a mental health query associated with an individual;   b) accessing an attribute profile associated with the individual, the attribute profile comprising pangenetic and non-pangenetic attributes;   c) accessing a database of previously accumulated pangenetic and non-pangenetic attribute profiles of a population of individuals with the database containing correlations between mental health conditions of the individuals of the population and pangenetic and non-pangenetic attribute patterns occurring within the population of individuals;   d) determining, based on the correlation of the attribute profile of the individual with the pangenetic and non-pangenetic attribute patterns occurring within the population of individuals, a set of possible mental health conditions for the individual; and   e) transmitting the set of possible mental health conditions for the individual as the profile of the mental health of the individual.   
     
     
         2 . The computer based method of  claim 1  wherein the mental health conditions include at least one condition from the set of depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disorder. 
     
     
         3 . The computer based method of  claim 1  wherein the pangenetic and non-pangenetic attribute patterns occurring within the population of individuals includes a plurality of pangenetic attributes. 
     
     
         4 . The computer based method of  claim 1  wherein the pangenetic and non-pangenetic attribute patterns occurring within the population of individuals includes a plurality of non-pangenetic attributes.
