Abstract: A machine may be configured as a recommendation machine that makes one or more recommendations to one or more users. The machine may provide a recommendation based on one or more psychometric profiles that correspond to a user, a product, a manager for the product, or any suitable combination thereof. The user may be a potential buyer of the product, and the manager for the product may fully or partially manage the product and consequently affect the value of the product. The user's psychometric profile may describe market understanding and risk tolerance possessed by the user, and the manager's psychometric profile may describe market understanding and risk tolerance held by the manager. Such psychometric profiles may be used to make recommendations of products. In addition, a psychometric profile for the product itself may be used in the making of such recommendations.
