Brief to Developer
Brief Details:
Name: Frank Manson
Business Frank Manson Consulting
Date Required Nov 15th – 30th 2010
Budget: $US 1000
App Information:
This development is for a client of mine know as the Institute of Behaviour Analysis.
The client is a company in Behavioural Analysis and has developed a test method where a user would answer a series of questions ( currently 30 , but this could be reduced to fewer for the app) on themselves and would be provided with a report of their personality profile. Basically it would replace very long and laborious psycho metric testing methods that are costly and take a long time to compute. This method will take about 30 seconds to render results back to you and could provide either a short summary result for the app or alternately as on the web a more comprehensive report of about 2 pages. The app could also direct you to the website for a more extensive test and a 2 page report.
Basically this is a personality testing method. It could help you in the corporate environment to do quick evaluations for job interviews or resolve conflicts between personnel by asking two individuals to complete the questions and use the tool to determine why there is a conflict based on personality types. It could be used when dating to determine if a partner is compatible to you or not, or in your marriage to determine the personality types of yourself and your partner and help resolve conflict areas.
My client is a Professor in behavioural Analysis and developed this method over 18 years of study. Initially the first app concentrates on the question and answer evaluation method. Obviously we would like to make it as easy as possible .
Obviously we would want to Monetise the app as a saleable item and market it as far as possible.
We are busy with a Website and Mobile website development that will cater to the corporate market as well as the Private individual, and want to integrate everything we do into the social networks like Facebook etc. We would also like to know if there is a way that we can get someone to buy the app and not allow this to be distributed openly to others (a protection of sorts) without further payment ,as we want to sell as many of these apps as possible. My thought was that we make a quite a serious subject like behaviour analysis - "Fun" by allowing the application to render results that are a lot more fun than your basic corporate evaluation. Your guidance here will assist us in determining how we should approach this.
My Client has developed an algorithm/mathematical model (BMI – Behavior Measurement Index) that ranks these questions and answers and renders the result currently as a symbol that will based, on how the questions are answered determine your personality characteristics and break your personality into 3 distinct personality types know as Red, Blue, & Yellow.
The result is a combination of these three colours (coping strategies) and gives a unique personality profile, representing the basic structure of the person’s personality. It is rendered in this format. ( unfortunately The Symbol which is a round circle in 3 colours ,Red ,Blue and Yellow) could not be shown visually here.
Based on the results, this symbol would change the proportions of colour to reflect your Personality profile. You would be able to watch it on your phone change shape whilst calculating.
E.g. If you are more red than blue or your personality type is predominately Yellow, followed by Red and then To a lesser exlesser extent Blue, then you would see the Symbol show above as a “Yellow Red “ blue personality profile.
The app would then give a short summary of this personality type.
