Abstract:
1. A selection system for selecting factors from a plurality of factor candidates contributing to enhance target people's ability to achieve results, comprising: A processor; An input device; and An output device, wherein: Said output device outputs questions related to the plurality of candidates of factors, so as to show the questions to target people; Said input device inputs information representing work done by the target people; Said processor receives a response to each of the questions output by said output device, calculates a correlation coefficient representing a correlation between the information representing the work done by the target people and an evaluation value numerically representing the response to each of the questions and at least one standard deviation value based on the input information of the work done, said correlation coefficient being calculated by dividing a calculated covariance representing the work done and the evaluation value by the at least one standard deviation value of the work done, and selects the factors from the plurality of factor candidates related to the question corresponding to the response represented by the evaluation value used for calculating the correlation coefficient as factors contributing to enhance the target people's ability to achieve results, in a case where the calculated correlation coefficient is equal to or larger than a reference value; Said processor determines properties of the target people which are related to the selected factors based on an evaluation value numerically representing a response to each of the questions relating to each of the selected factors; and Said output device outputs the determined properties of the target people.
