Abstract
Abstract A system for producing a set of personalized sentograms constituting a personality relationship profile of the subject being diagnosed. The system includes a programmer presenting to the subject a predetermined sequence of names, each identifying an individual with whom the subject has a close relationship or about whom the subject has a distinct feeling. Each name presentation is repeated at random intervals or is followed by a series of short signals occurring at random times, commanding the subject to express his feeling about the named individual by a single physical action. Means are provided that are responsive to the physical action to produce a transient waveform representative thereof, the waveforms initiated by the series of signals being averaged to create a personalized sentogram. The set of sentograms resulting from the sequence of names provides a personality relationship profile of the subject.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A system for producing a set of personalized sentograms to provide a personality relationship profile of a given subject, said system comprising: A. a programmer to present to the subject a predetermined sequence of names, each denoting an individual with whom the subject has a relationship or about whom the subject has a decided feeling, each name being repeatedly announced at random intervals or being followed by a series of start signals occuring at random times, each announcement of start signals commanding the subject to express his feeling about the named individual by a physical action, B. means responsive to said physical action to produce a transient sentic waveform representative thereof, and C. means to average the waveforms initiated by said commands and to record an averaged waveform constituting a personalized sentogram, the set of sentograms resulting from the sequence of names providing said personality relationship profile.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
147 words
A system for producing a set of personalized sentograms to provide a personality relationship profile of a given subject, said system comprising: A. a programmer to present to the subject a predetermined sequence of names, each denoting an individual with whom the subject has a relationship or about whom the subject has a decided feeling, each name being repeatedly announced at random intervals or being followed by a series of start signals occuring at random times, each announcement of start signals commanding the subject to express his feeling about the named individual by a physical action, B. means responsive to said physical action to produce a transient sentic waveform representative thereof, and C. means to average the waveforms initiated by said commands and to record an averaged waveform constituting a personalized sentogram, the set of sentograms resulting from the sequence of names providing said personality relationship profile.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said programmer is an audio playback device and includes a record of said names and said signals, said signals being constituted by audible clicks.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said means responsive to said physical action is a transducer assembly having horizontal and vertical pressure-responsive elements associated with a finger rest.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
A system as set forth in claim 1, further including means to visually indicate each of the sentic waveforms.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
A system as set forth in claim 4, wherein said means is an oscilloscope.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
A system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said means to average the sentic waveforms is a computer of average transients.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
37 words
A system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said means to average the sentic waveforms is a mechanical device that is adapted to produce repeated traces one on top of the other to effect visual averaging.
