Patent ID: 8185424

Claim:
A job matching system comprising: a computer processor, a set of questions asked in pairs to a potential employee or employer; and a computer program which utilizes statistical formulas to analyze the answers received by the employee or employer, convert the answers received into 13 attributes, run a mean and standard deviation between all data points to achieve a consistent scale and normalize data, utilize a common ruler which is derived from testing a population of persons with known work place presences to achieve a consistent scale, wherein the common ruler uses the following equations: Factor ⁢ ⁢ 1 = - 0.0820 * std_scalar1 + 0.1311 * std_scalar2 + 0.2263 * std_scalar3 - 0.0058 * std_scalar4 + 0.0122 * std_scalar5 + 0.1248 * std_scalar6 + 0.3192 * std_scalar7 - 0.1720 * std_scalar8 - 0.3607 * std_scalar9 + 0.1148 * std_scalar10 - 0.1254 * std_scalar11 + 0.1085 * std_scalar12 + 0.1118 * std_scalar13 ; Factor ⁢ ⁢ 2 = 0.1040 * std_scalar1 - 0.1211 * std_scalar2 + 0.0146 * std_scalar3 + 0.1113 * std_scalar4 + 0.1840 * std_scalar5 + 0.0314 * std_scalar6 - 0.0896 * std_scalar7 + 0.0293 * std_scalar8 + 0.1842 * std_scalar9 - 0.3991 * std_scalar10 + 0.3836 * std_scalar11 + 0.2279 * std_scalar12 + 0.1496 * std_scalar13 ; Factor ⁢ ⁢ 3 = 0.3003 * std_scalar1 - 0.3337 * std_scalar2 - 0.0274 * std_scalar3 + 0.0810 * std_scalar4 - 0.2709 * std_scalar5 + 0.5507 * std_scalar6 + 0.1679 * std_scalar7 - 0.0377 * std_scalar8 - 0.1569 * std_scalar9 + 0.0920 * std_scalar10 - 0.0244 * std_scalar11 + 0.2408 * std_scalar12 - 0.0308 * std_scalar13 ; Factor ⁢ ⁢ 4 = - 0.2446 * std_scalar1 + 0.2927 * std_scalar2 + 0.0554 * std_scalar3 + 0.6769 * std_scalar4 + 0.0952 * std_scalar5 + 0.0175 * std_scalar6 + 0.0345 * std_scalar7 + 0.3185 * std_scalar8 - 0.0365 * std_scalar9 - 0.1329 * std_scalar10 - 0.0309 * std_scalar11 + 0.0301 * std_scalar12 - 0.1208 * std_scalar13 , utilize factor analysis to classify into mindsets, utilize perceptual mapping techniques to group the mindsets to one of four work place preferences displayed in vectors, and utilize vector algebra to find the smallest distances between the employee and employer vectors.
