Title: POPA: A Personality and Object Profiling Assistant

Abstract

POPA: A Personality and Object Profiling Assistant system utilizes an extension and variation of a process developed for decision analysis as a tool to quantify intuitive feelings and subjective judgments. The technique is based on a manipulation of the Analytical Hierarchy Process. The POPA system models an individual in terms of his character type, life orientation, and incentive (motivational) factors. Then an object (i.e., individual, project, situation, or policy) is modeled with respect to its three most important factors. The individual and object models are combined to indicate the influence each of the three object factors have on the individual. We have investigated this problem: 1) to develop a technique that models personality types in a quantitative and organized manner, 2) to develop a tool capable of evaluating the probable success of obtaining funding for proposed programs at Los Alamos National Laboratory, 3) to determine the feasibility of quantifying feelings and intuition, and 4) to better understand subjective knowledge acquisition (especially intuition). 49 refs., 10 figs., 5 tabs.
