Visual Icon Aptitude Testing for Subconscious Stress Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing aptitude testing systems struggle to accurately and objectively assess an individual's mental structure and vocational aptitude due to the invisibility of stress and the rigidity of conventional performance theories, which makes it difficult to grasp psychological and social behaviors.
Innovation Solution
A visual approach-based aptitude testing system that utilizes icons to stimulate the amygdala's rapid emotional response, allowing for the expression of subconscious consciousness before neocortex processing, thereby capturing potential consciousness through visual stimuli.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional performance theory is used for aptitude testing, then the testing system has a rigid structural system, but the analytical result is difficult to be reused and appropriate determination is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the rigid structural system into a dynamic one by introducing a two-dimensional coordinate system where the abscissa represents stress resistance and the ordinate represents work ability. This dynamic framework allows examinees to be positioned and evaluated flexibly across multiple dimensions, enabling the analytical results to be reused and reapplied to different occupational scenarios and decision-making contexts.
2Measurement precision
If stress is measured through conventional methods, then the measurement process is complex, but stress is invisible and difficult to visually and accurately grasp
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical or physiological stress measurement devices with a visual evaluation system. Examinees complete check sheets with icons representing their responses to various situations, and the system automatically plots these responses on a two-dimensional coordinate system. This substitution transforms invisible stress into visible graphical representations that can be accurately grasped and analyzed without complex measurement equipment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs visual indicators including color-coded regions and icons on check sheets to represent different stress levels and response patterns. The coordinate system uses visual differentiation to show examinee positions relative to ideal ranges, making invisible stress and psychological states visually apparent and easily interpretable.
3Adaptability or versatility
If visual information is used to assess mental structure, then the assessment can be multifaceted, but the system must accurately determine icon relationships and patterns
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the assessment into distinct icon selection categories on check sheets, where examinees mark icons representing their responses to specific situations. Each icon and its position on the check sheet represents a discrete data point that is systematically processed and plotted on the coordinate system. This segmentation allows multifaceted assessment while maintaining precision through structured data collection and automated plotting procedures.

AI summary
[Problem] To grasp human mental structure in a multifaceted manner through a visual information, and to accurately and objectively grasp an examinee's propensity such as a vocational aptitude. [Solution] The potential consciousness of an examinee is expressed by the application state of the multiple icons in a check sheet comprising a large number of areas and figures having no particular meaning by itself in a rectangular frame. It is possible to visually and specifically express an examinee's internal and potential consciousness through the images obtained from the examinee's application state of icons on a check sheet. Amygdala that controls emotion will respond to visual information responds 100ms earlier than neocortex. Therefore, it is possible to understand an examinee's aptitude by grasping his/her subconsciousness under unawareness prior to conscious controls. Since the icons are recognized as figures, they affect subconscious of the frontal lobe without stimulating the emotional system.
