Abstract: A system for teaching interviewing includes queries, a cross-reference, a writing medium, and instructions. The queries are for obtaining decisions by a student whether provided descriptions of experience are true for an experience of the student. The cross-reference is accessed by the descriptions of experience to provide personality traits. The writing medium includes a first region for a list of the personality traits obtained via the cross-reference, a second region for a summary of the experience, and a third region for a summary list of the personality traits obtained via the cross-reference, and possibly from other lists of values and morals. The instructions direct the student to complete the regions of the writing medium; and direct the student to retell at least one of the summary of the experience and the summary list in answer to a question during an interview.
