Profiling

* What is profiling? – Profiling – is analysis of personality based on indirect evidence. For example, there is a photo of a person, and it is possible to say, how to better interact with the person. Or if there is a letter written by hand, it may also give some information about the person. In other word, the service I offer is Distance Analysis of Personality.
* Why one needs profiling? – If you do not have much information about a person, but you want to know more than one says about himself, here is the solution. Distance profiling (analysis of a text or a photo) will allow you to get information that will help you to make the right decision.
* Can you give examples? – Suspect of treason, an anonymous letter with a threat or extortion, the state of someone at the time of writing a text. A special case is the prediction of human actions in the situation related to money (loan, lease, sell, contract, industrial espionage).
* And if I need to figure out whether someone deceives or cheats on me? – Profiling is designed to analyze human behavior and make a prediction of his future actions.
* What materials are needed? – Everything that you have: photos and texts, letters and memos, diaries and stories, interviews or writing materials, which reflect the history of life circumstances.
* What can one say about a man on circumstantial evidence? – For example, how secretive one is, how cautious, careful, or organized. How one builds the communication, how respond to life’s circumstances. What one knows or loves, what does not like. And, of course, age, sex, place of birth and place pf residence (if the text is anonymous).
* How accurate are the answers? – Profiling – is a probabilistic approach. There is no guarantee that we can determine a lot, there is no guarantee that the author does not imitate anything. No one person will undertake to say, any specialist can only guess. But the assumption may be true, because they are based on scientific principles.
* If you cannot say for sure what’s the point to say something? – Even alcohol is 96%. Abstract reasoning can take us far. Let’s discuss your case specifically.
* Can you tell about the author based on any text? – No. Some texts can be completely neutral. It is better if there are several texts that (presumably) belong to the author.
* And if the author is unknown? – Profiling is suggests the possibility of determining the authorship of the text.
* In what language should be text? – It is better if the text is in Russian, but it can be in English.
* Can I see sample analysis? – Soon these materials will be posted on the site (in a restricted access).
* Do you guarantee confidentiality? – When I worked for the KGB …. Certainly. The results will be known only to you and me.
* How much does it cost? – The price is uncertain (like when you need to repair your car – when the lamp “check engine” is on, that can sometimes be a simple cup of the tank problem, but it may be necessary to check the entire system by an electrician). Initial analysis of the material is free of charge. Depending on the task and the availability and quality of materials cost can be anywhere from 25 to 250 dollars.
* How can I contact you? – If you have any materials you want me to analyse write me a letter about it. .
