About Profiling
Personality & Psychological

Offender profiling is a behavioral and investigative tool that helps investigators to profile unknown criminal subjects or offenders. (Psychological profiling is not the same as offender profiling and the two should not be confused.) Offender profiling is also known as criminal profiling, criminal personality profiling, criminological profiling, behavioral profiling or criminal investigative analysis.

Television shows such as Profiler in the 1990s, the 2005 television series Criminal Minds, and the 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs have lent many names to what the FBI calls "criminal investigative analysis." In modern criminology, offender profiling is generally considered the "third wave" of investigative science: the first wave was the study of clues, pioneered by Scotland Yard in the 19th century; the second wave the study of crime itself (frequency studies and the like); this third wave is the study of the abnormal psyche of the criminal. - Wikipedia.

At AsiaHypnosis, we provide personality or psychological profiling not offender profiling services.

Psychological profiling also sometimes referred to as Personality or Behavior profiling is defined as analyzing, inducing, deducing and compiling available information to extract and deduce patterns that are then compared to the patterns and behavior of others in similar circumstances who have been studied in the past. Profiling involves a continuous interaction and overlapping of induction and deduction, of theoretical hypotheses, pattern analysis and empirical evidence. All analyzed, induced and deduced searches are protected by copyright. In the information age there is a glut of information and everyone can see and has access to a lot of information, however what is more important is noticing what one sees and reasoning from what one sees.

Relevancy of a psychological and personality profile is proportional to the accuracy of the background information you provide. The fundamental axiom of profiling is comparing a subject's behavior with the behavior of others in similar circumstances who have been studied in the past. The key to good profiling is in deriving what background effects what trait and identifying patterns. Research indicates that often times what most people commonly consider to be irrelevant pieces of background information could be very relevant for any trait. It is also possible that people have a certain trait but do not act upon it due to external circumstances that make it very difficult for them to act in accordance with their natural trait.

In these situations when the external circumstances are removed people revert to their natural trait. Another behavioral factor that may influence relevancy is called Recency bias. This is human behavior that leads one to place far more weight on what happened recently than what happened years earlier.

There are no traits that are all bad or all good. Good or bad is very relative and defined according to the society one lives in or the circumstances. Certain traits in certain situations would be extremely desirable and those same traits in a different situation could be extremely undesirable. And even within the same society, concepts of good or bad may change over time, particularly if influenced by evolving societal values or expectations.

Often times people's own perceptions about their behavior, thoughts or functioning are biased by their own ideal image and experiences. Objective observers, on the other hand can provide a more unbiased assessment of these behaviors. To you your own traits, may seem perfectly normal, typical or not typical. Yet to those around you, they may seem typical, odd or abnormal. Normal is often defined by what's statistically average. Most people fall in the middle ground, the average, while others fall to one extreme or the other. And what is normal also changes over time particularly when influenced by evolving societal values or expectations.

Psychological Profile report can help deduce your behavior profile. It can include various behaviors, preferences, personal traits and special talents. Profiles can be deduced from data mining any public information such as behavior records, consumer activities, shopping habits, memberships in various organizations & clubs, court records, demographic data, internet search, property deeds, media, databases, blogs, social networking services, wikis, newsgroups, opinions, comments, words, voice, pictures, videos, biological features, physical features, body language, forums, message boards including other methods such as statistical comparisons with peer groups. There is no necessity to take written or verbal tests and no necessity of lengthy questions and answers as in the Myers-Briggs tests. Psychological profiles deduced from background information have the potential to surpass conventional psychological testing methods as they consider more factors than what people say.
