Each customized three-dimensional image-caption pair may be assigned a plurality of traits to each of the plurality of customized three-dimensional image-caption pairs. For each customized three-dimensional image-caption pair, the computing system scores each trait of the plurality of traits. The computing system deploys a personality assessment. The personality assessment includes the plurality of customized three-dimensional image-caption pairs. For each customized three-dimensional image-caption pair, the computing system receives response data from a test-taker. The response data includes an indication of whether the test-taker relates to the customized three-dimensional image-caption pair. Based on the response data, the computing system categorizes the test-taker into a personality dimension or personality type.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2023Publication date: June 6, 2024Applicant: Paradox, Inc.Inventors: Justin Marshall, Scott Tremper, Dave Volpe, Heather Myers, Mark Parkinson, Rachel Stewart Johnson, Daniel Sines, Joshua Spears
