Psychology Articles

Not long ago, I was discussing with a friend that the Internet is an impatient animal, and I explained to them that; so am I. In fact the Internet is making us Impatient, and patience is no longer a virtue, the new virtue is called; Multitasking. Did you know that the average Internet surfer clicks on a link, and reads the page or scans it for an average of 10 to 17 seconds depending on their demographic and age category, and then clicks out? Now that’s impatience for you.

If you do any amount of surfing online, text messaging, twittering, or play on social networking sites you to will train your brain to be highly Impatient, an impatient fidgety little animal. The interesting thing is that ADHD has always been considered a problematic behavioral trait, but perhaps in the past fidgety humans were able to survive because they might spot the saber toothed tiger in the bushes before anyone else and take off running. Remember it’s the slower people who get eaten.

Indeed, it is my belief that ADHD in the future might actually be a valuable asset for survival, especially in the information age where everything is coming at us so quickly due to the apps on our iPad and iPhone, and the abundance of information which is thrown at us within any given 10 minute period. The other day I was talking to a “Social Networking Community Coordinator” that was actually her job title. She told me the first thing she had learned at her job was that if an angry blogger contacted the help desk or support, they wished to be replied to within 10 minutes or they got even more angry.

Can you imagine someone getting angry if you didn’t call them back in 10 minutes in the early 1990s? You would’ve thought they were some type of lunatic to demand such rapid response, but in the new information age, and this new generation, that’s what’s expected. Their idea of customer service is not being put on hold to India, they want someone to pick up the phone on the first ring, or text them a message back within a minute to help them solve their problem, whatever it might be, even if it is imaginary, which also happens with Impatient people.

Like I said, if you are not Impatient yet, and you continue to use the Internet and all these new high-tech toys, you will be soon. If you have ADHD already, it’s only going to get worst say the top personal tech psychologists. Please consider all this and think on it.

After continuing Carl Jung’s research in the unknown region of the human psyche through dream interpretation, I discovered the anti-conscience which is the wild side of the human conscience. The anti-conscience is a primitive demon that didn’t evolve like the human side of our conscience. This is why it generates mental illnesses within the human side of our conscience.

This was a shocking discovery! It would be very convenient for me if I had a degree in psychiatry or psychology so that I could prove my statements and be respected. However, I had to study alone. I also had to fight alone against craziness, after discovering the terrible anti-conscience.

I saw that the anti-conscience constantly invades everyone’s conscience. This is why the human being is basically evil, and our world is characterized by wars, crimes, terrorism, poverty, and many other horrors. Another shocking proof of the human absurdity is the indifference of those who have money and protection, in parallel with the misery of the victims of terror, violence, and poverty.

Those who have a lot of money pay the police to hide their crimes, the same way they pay everyone else to simply do what they want. They decide everything, while they are totally indifferent to what happens with those who battle for their survival.

Most people in our world are influenced or completely controlled by their anti-conscience. This is why those who are fortunate enough to live far from terror ignore the despair of those who live in misery. Their cold indifference reflects abnormal behavior, which generates many psychological problems. This is why they are not happy, even if they live like kings.

Many other problems independent of money also transform our world into a living hell. In such a world, all universities are based on absurd concepts. Therefore, I would waste my time studying psychiatry in a university of my historical time. Our global behavioral health is basically characterized by severe mental illnesses.

Fortunately, I discovered that the unconscious mind that produces our dreams has a divine origin. Carl Jung was afraid to completely trust the unconscious mind, but I verified that the unconscious mind has saintly characteristics.

I was saved from schizophrenia by the unconscious warnings. I cured many people through dream therapy for two decades, always obeying the unconscious guidance. Only then could I finally present my work to the public.

You probably didn’t know that you should prevent craziness. However, this is necessary because you are already absurd from birth. You have only a partial mental stability, which you can easily lose. My discoveries are not pleasant, but they represent salvation from despair. Dream translation according to the scientific method of dream interpretation discovered by Carl Jung and simplified by me is the only guaranteed method of craziness prevention existent today.

The prevention and cure of all mental illnesses is based on your obedience to the unconscious psychotherapy in dreams. You will develop your intelligence through consciousness, and this way, eliminate your dangerous anti-conscience. You will acquire perfect behavioral health and brain power once your behavior is characterized by real goodness.

Plasticity in the nervous system support cognitions, and is affected by age.Plasticity in the nervous system support cognitions, and is affected by age. Brain cognitive functions decline with age. Naturally, then, several neural mechanisms in the same brain areas also shift with age. This article presents significant advances in understanding age-related changes in the medial temporal lobe and prefrontal cortex. These changes in functional plasticity contribute to behavioral impairments in the absence of major pathology.

All animals experience cognitive decline with age. It is now known that age does not equal to significant cell loss. In the hippocampus and the PFC, however, there is a significant increase in Ca2+ conductance, which likely contributes to age-related changes in plasticity or long-term potentiation or LTP and long-term depression or LTD. The maintenance of long-term memory and plasticity requires gene expression; therefore, aged animals also show alterations in these processes.

Gene Arc shows differences in expression patterns between young and old animals. Age-associated changes in the dynamics of neuronal ensembles contribute to cognitive impairment. The hippocampus and the PFC are vulnerable to age. In many species, there is a decline in associative learning and spatial memory. Also, older animals show working memory and executive function deficits. Much needs to be learned, despite the fact that the average lifespan is increasing worldwide.

In other words, age is correlated with a decline in cognitive function that is in part caused by changes in neural plasticity. These changes are subtle compared to age-associated disorders. Age-related changes in cognition may affect pathological disease states.

Functional alterations occur during age in the medial temporal lobe and the PFC. These age-associated changes might contribute to the selective cognitive impairments during aging. The subtle changes in neuronal morphology, cell to cell interactions and gene expression might alter plasticity in aged animals. These changes disrupt the network dynamics of aged neuronal ensembles that cause selective behavioral impairments.

In summary and conclusion, during aging, animals experience cognitive decline. Now it is known that the changes occurring during ageing are quite subtle and selective. Most age-associated behavioral impairments result from region-specific changes in factors that affect plasticity and alter the network dynamics of neural ensembles that support cognition.

The morphology of neurons in the PFC is more susceptible to age-related change. There is also a small decline in cell number in an area of other animals that is correlated with working memory impairments. There are therapeutic approaches that might modify hippocampal neurobiology and slow age-related cognitive decrease or partially restore plasticity.

What is the most interesting about this article is that there is still so much unknown in the area of cognition and memory. This study reflects the needs for Psychology and Medicine to collaborate closely. All realms, besides the physical or medical and the psychological and emotional, must be explored to gather new data about cognition and aging. Other realms that could affect cognition and aging are: spiritual, intellectual, and social. I am personally interested in finding out more about all these other realms as well and their relation to cognition and the lifespan.

This information/research knowledge can be used in clinical practice in a way that supports exercising the brain muscle/s, in a way that supports the client’s continuous learning, and continuous researching. Also, this information could prompt the therapist to assess the client’s environment, nutrition and wellness, life purpose and any drug usage, to verify whether these important life areas affect cognition and age. Based on my experience and the experience of my clients, I believe these areas do affect age and cognition.

Thank you.

Often, when people talk about introverts and extraverts, they think in terms of whether people enjoy social interactions. In fact, the true definitions of introversion and extraversion have to do with where a person finds meaning – and for this reason, knowing which you are can help you make life decisions that leave you happier and more fulfilled.

I was surfing the web the other day and came across a site that defined introverts as people who do not enjoy social situations and who are more comfortable alone. Now, if the author had prefaced the word ‘introvert’ with the word ’social’, then you wouldn’t be reading this article because I wouldn’t have written it. The site purported to be describing psychological introversion but pitched products and services geared specifically to a social definition of introvert, so my hackles rose and I jumped upon my soap box to address what is one of my pet peeves. To state it clearly and unambiguously:

Psychological introversion and extraversion are not measures of how comfortable you are (or aren’t) in social situations.

The concept of psychological introversion and extraversion was originally described by the Swiss psychoanalyst, Carl Jung, to explain two different ways people create meaning in their lives. A Jungian introvert derives meaning from the development of a rich internal life, and it is in the exploration of that internal life that they are most comfortable. To quote the Merriam Webster dictionary: Introversion is “the state of or tendency toward being wholly or predominantly concerned with and interested in one’s own mental life.” A Jungian extravert, on the other hand, creates meaning in the interaction with things in the external world, and it is in the exploration of the external world that they are most comfortable. Merriam Webster again: Extraversion is “the act, state, or habit of being predominantly concerned with and obtaining gratification from what is outside the self.” While this might sound like it is no different from the idea that introverts are ‘people who do not enjoy social situations’ there is a huge difference. In the true Jungian use of the concept, the focus is on where an individual derives meaning not how, and it often has no relation whatsoever to a person’s comfort level at cocktail parties.

The confusion between social introversion/extraversion and psychological introversion/extraversion is fueled by the fact that most examples used to explain the concepts depend on observable behaviors – which are social due to the mere fact that they are observable. And to stress clarity, most examples are presented as polar opposites. So you will see things like “extraverts are gregarious and like parties and community gatherings and political demonstrations” and “Introverts like solitary activities like reading and writing, computer games, and listening to music.” See what I mean? Psychological introverts do indeed have social graces and enjoy parties and can be just as passionate about public demonstrations as the next guy. Psychological extraverts enjoy music, and reading and writing too.

Psychological introversion/extraversion is a continuum within each of us. We all prefer one over the other (deriving meaning internally versus externally), but all of us have the capacity for and often enjoy a wide variety of social introverted/extraverted behaviors. That’s why it gets so confusing when people try to apply a single label to describe someone solely based on observable behavior.

Knowing whether you are a Jungian introvert or a Jungian extravert can be very important in helping you to be more comfortable with yourself. It can help you make difficult decisions about careers, determine what kinds of skills you are likely to excel at and what kinds you are not, understand why some environments are better for you than others, and choose products and services best suited to your temperament. The same can be said about knowing whether you are primarily a social introvert or a social extravert.

If they can both provide the same type of information, why all the fuss? Why is this issue one I am willing to get up on a soap box for? Well, first of all I am a stickler for accuracy, and psychology, particularly styles theory, is a main focus of my company. But just being accurate is not what drives me on this issue. I am passionate about helping people to explore and understand who they are not just for the curiosity of knowing, but so that they can use that awareness to make life choices that fit who they are. This is impossible if the concepts that people use are applied incorrectly. While both concepts provide useful information and knowledge, conclusions drawn about one (Jungian introversion) based on the other (social introversion) are bound to be flawed.

Good behavioral health and real balance depend on sensitivity and goodness. Human beings don’t become human because they are able to think. What gives us our humanity is our capacity to feel other people’s pain.

We must cultivate goodness in our hearts in order to become really human. Without sensitivity and goodness, we will never attain wisdom, nor will we find peace.

This is why the wise unconscious mind that produces our dreams is constantly trying to help us become more sensitive. All dream messages work like warnings for our human conscience, and at the same time, like stimuli that wake up our senses.

I’m going to explain how I arrived at these conclusions. As a writer, I could study and relate many scientific discoveries that basically showed us the same truths. As a poet and philosopher, I could analyze these findings and sincerely criticize them, without any hypocritical or selfish intention.

However, what really helped me find out the truth about our mental and behavioral health, was the fact that I had to fight against craziness myself. I continued Carl Jung’s research in the unknown region of the human psyche through dream interpretation. This was how I discovered the roots of the human absurdity. After discovering the anti-conscience, the wild and primitive conscience that occupies the biggest part of our brain, I found explanations for all mysteries.

The anti-conscience is our animal and violent personality, which refuses to change its behavior. This is why it generates mental illnesses within the human side of our conscience.

However, the anti-conscience pretends to belong to the human side of our conscience, which it frequently invades, sending us various absurd thoughts. These wild thoughts seem to be generated from our human mind, when in fact, the anti-conscience is not human. It is totally absurd. It is also totally cruel, because it is an indifferent animal.

This is why whenever someone becomes mentally ill they are violent, immoral, and cruel, even when this is not apparent. In grave cases their violence is clearly visible. They are not themselves. They are dominated by their wild nature.

However, they cannot understand that they are under the control of their sneaky anti-conscience. They believe that their horrible actions are the result of their own lack of balance. Everyone around them has the same false impression.

However, the truth is that whenever human beings are violent, immoral, cruel, or totally indifferent to human suffering, they are dominated by their wild conscience. They are not responsible for their actions.

This means that we have to completely change the way our world functions. Nobody should go to jail for committing crimes. Nobody should be condemned by everyone else when they lose their minds. They need psychotherapy. The anti-conscience possesses great negative energy. It can easily destroy a person’s human conscience through craziness.

We must show compassion to those who are controlled by their wild and violent nature. On the other hand, we must seriously face the truth, and care about saving the new generations from mental illnesses and mental disorders.

Now we know that the anti-conscience is responsible for the formation of all mental and behavioral abnormalities observed in human beings. Thus, we must help everyone get rid of this primitive content before losing their human conscience; especially young people.

Dream therapy is a revolutionary healing method that will completely change the way we live our lives. It will put a definitive end to violence, craziness, indifference, and to all the horrors that mark our absurd civilization. This is how we will finally find peace and happiness that last forever.

I will be forever grateful to the extraordinary German behaviorist and biologist Konrad Lorenz. After Carl Jung, who taught me the meaning of dreams and saved me from neurosis and a prominent schizophrenia, Konrad Lorenz is my second savior and big hero.

His detailed research, his conclusions and discoveries, and the valuable knowledge he provided to the world, saved me from the dangerous darkness of ignorance. Only because I studied his books with the same attention I studied Carl Jung’s books, could I trust the unconscious mind as much as I did.

Lorenz received a Nobel Prize in 1974. However, until today the world didn’t recognize the importance of his discoveries. This is why until today many people believe that Charles Darwin’s conclusions about the evolution of the species was correct. Konrad Lorenz and his group of biologists have scientifically proven to the world that Darwin was wrong for believing that the evolutionary process of the animal species depended on their environment.

All animals are previously prepared in order to be able to survive in a dangerous environment before living. They find on Earth many enemies, and many difficult situations for their survival. If they were not previously prepared in order to be able to survive in these dangerous conditions, they would die before being able to learn how to survive. This means that their evolutionary process was already programmed as well. The animals’ evolution doesn’t depend on the environment they find because everything in their formation is already programmed.

All animal reactions are previously prepared in their cognitive mechanism. Their reactions follow chains, which form various behavioral patterns. The cognitive mechanism of all animals is already prepared to help them automatically act in their environment, independently of a learning process. The same happens with us, human beings.

Darwin was correct for discovering that we are primates. Of course his work is valuable, and it enlightened us in many ways. However, many scientific discoveries that happened after his death, like Konrad Lorenz’s discoveries, proved that the evolution of all species was a result of a very well organized plan. As a matter of fact, the entire nature of our planet is very well organized. All this organization cannot be a product of chance.

Lorenz concluded that practically all our reactions are previously prepared in our cognitive mechanism. These reactions start automatically working whenever we receive a specific stimulus from our environment. The same truth is observed in all animals. Their reactions are previously prepared and well organized, so that each animal will follow a precise sequence of movements from the beginning to the end, depending on the stimuli of their environment. This sequence of movements and reactions forms a programmed behavioral chain, which creates a behavioral pattern.

For example, all wild animals know how to kill their prey, and they are able to beat their prey in their first attempts, even before seeing any other animal of the same species doing so. Even animals kept in isolation, far from other animals of their species, were able to do the right movements, in the right sequence, and successfully kill their preys in their first attempts.

This fact proves that everything in the animal nature is previously prepared to follow a determined sequence of movements. Lorenz and his group of biologists give us many more explanations about this matter. I’m only giving you an idea about their research and discoveries.

Lorenz concluded that since all our reactions are programmed and we act without thinking most of the time, we cannot talk about ‘human freedom’. The human being is an animal already programmed to behave in a certain way, the same way that all animals are. In other words, we don’t really ‘decide’ anything.

His conclusions were very unpleasant for those who prefer to consider the human being as a ’superior creature’ who knows what he is doing. This is why until today Lorenz’s work is not taught everywhere. Cognitive therapy, where humans are shown to be able to think rather than just act on animal instincts has replaced behaviorism, even though Konrad’s discoveries were true. Many other scientific discoveries prove that Konrad’s statements were real because our capacity to think logically is too limited. However, these discoveries go against the interests of the world leaders, who would have to admit that human beings cannot be considered responsible for their actions in most circumstances.

There is a part of our brain that can learn, and we can control our behavior and make our own decisions. However, this part will work only if we won’t be automatically induced to behave according to the animal behavioral patterns that predetermine our behavior.

Konrad Lorenz helped me believe that the wise unconscious mind that produces our dreams and regulates the functioning of our body, really has a divine origin. I concluded that all the behavioral programs already prepared in our cognitive mechanism had to be prepared by a wise brain. The entire nature of our planet functions in a very well organized manner because it was organized by a superior brain. The same superior brain that created all behavioral programs (unconscious mind), sends us wise messages in dreams in order to save our mental stability.

I also noticed that the unconscious mind has saintly characteristics, which prove God’s existence. The unconscious words are like the words of a priest, or better saying, like the words of a wise philosopher. When we translate the meaning of dreams according to Jung’s method of dream interpretation we are able to understand the unconscious messages, which really have a divine origin. These messages cure our psyche with their wisdom.

I simplified Jung’s complicated method of dream interpretation, and today everyone can finally understand the precious unconscious guidance contained in the meaning of their dreams. Jung’s method is too complex and time consuming. I transformed it into a fast translation from images into words.

We are absurd and under-developed primates. We must develop our intelligence if we want to become superior creatures, and stop being pre-conditioned animals who merely follow their wild nature. In other words, we must surpass the behavioral programs we inherit in our cognitive mechanism.

The biggest part of our brain remains in a primitive condition because it belongs to the anti-conscience, our wild conscience, which didn’t evolve like our human conscience. This part refuses to evolve. It doesn’t accept changing its behavior or transforming its personality. It is our wild and evil conscience, which leads us to terror, craziness, and despair.

We have to learn many things, and transform our behavior through learning. We should not be accommodated animals who merely follow their behavioral patterns. We must acquire more knowledge and more consciousness, so that we may transform the anti-conscience into a positive component of our human conscience. This is how we’ll become true human beings instead of being wild animals. This is also how we’ll find sound mental health, peace, happiness, and real freedom.

Trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling) affects millions of men, women and children who are convinced they are the only ones who do something so “weird” or that they must be “crazy.” Sufferers range in all ages, but many are children who experience shame, embarrassment, hopelessness and depression. Some sufferers have worn wigs, bandanas, and false eyelashes for as long as they can remember. They have never ridden a roller coaster for fear their hair will fly off. Pool parties that are fun for everyone else are a nightmare for “trichsters.” If your child pulls out his or her hair, it is not necessarily trichotillomania (trich). It may be a nervous habit. True trich has unique characteristics:

Trich sufferers do something with the pulled hair. They will
Gaze at it
Run it across their cheeks or lips
Put it in their mouth (some eat it)
Examine the root
Bite the root

Only after doing something with it will they throw it away.

Another clue to trich is the shame factor.
Kids with trich try to hide the hair they pull
Kids with trich may become angry and refuse to say anything when you try to talk to them about it.
Kids with trich often deny or minimize the pulling.

Trich usually makes its appearance in late childhood or early adolescence and may start with a stressful event. A stressful event may be negative as in:

Loss as from a divorce or a death
Loss of friends

It can be an event that seems positive such as:

Positive comments and attention to “your beautiful hair”
A major part in a play or taking part in a contest

Trich may begin after getting head lice or having an infection. It can begin for “no reason at all” like pulling a hair to look at it under a microscope or pulling an eyelash to get a wish.

Most “trichsters” can’t tell you one incident that started them pulling. When distinguishing trich from a nervous habit, it helps to try to remember when it started.

Fortunately naming the condition isn’t as critical to treatment as it is to understanding. It is important to identify pulling or picking as trich in order to

Help yourself and others understand why it is so difficult to stop
Avoid saying things that are counter-productive to your child
“Just STOP IT!”
“If you wanted to stop, you would!”

It is not so important to identify the behavior as trich when you formulate a treatment plan. The best researched successful plans are

Habit Reversal Therapy (HRT)
If it’s a habit this will work and it will work for trich, too
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
If it’s anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Behavior (OCD) or trich, this will work

Pulling hair or picking skin (no matter what lies beneath) IS a problem when it causes:

Shame and embarrassment
Fighting and arguing in the family
Medical problems
Social Problems
Academic Problems
It consumes a great deal of time

If you or your child suffers – YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Individual and group therapy is available and effective.

When you interpret your dreams, you can learn everything about yourself and your life. The accurate translations provided to you by the scientific method of dream interpretation help you understand who you really are.

You will easily recognize that these translations are real. They explain why you have psychological problems. They will show you many details from your past that generated these problems.

You also have an interior image of the functioning of your psyche. You understand when you are influenced by your anti-conscience, which is your primitive conscience, that didn’t evolve like your human conscience. You also understand how absurd your human conscience is. Your human conscience must be developed in order to become balanced.

The scientific translations tell you the truth. They won’t tell you that you are smart and you’ll become rich to make you like what you’ll learn. They are not commercial translations based on suppositions like the dream interpretations of all the impostors who pretend to be translating dreams. The scientific translations are based on a true comprehension of the symbolic meaning of the dream images. They correct your mistakes, showing you how to be wise.

For example, dreams where you see yourself near the people you dislike, are showing you that you act like these people too. You may condemn their behavior, and criticize their opinions; yet, you are like them in many ways.

You may dislike finding out that you act like the people you condemn when you analyze the meaning of your dreams. However, you will only be able to correct your mistakes, once you observe and understand what they are. If you don’t understand that you are wrong when you act on impulse without understanding all the consequences which could occur because of these actions, you’ll keep doing what will cause you future suffering in the first place. You cannot escape from bad consequences if you don’t pay attention to your actions.

Most dreams are behavioral lessons that eliminate the influence of the negative components of your personality. You must learn how to do only what will be positive for you and your life. This is how you’ll manage to successfully face all life challenges.

There are also dreams that will give you courage. When you see yourself finding diamonds in a dream, this means that you’ll find the truth. You’ll acquire a precious and superior knowledge.

However, before seeing positive dream scenes, you must transform your personality. Only when you have become psychologically balanced and wise, will the dream images reflect your superiority. While you keep being influenced by the absurd components of your personality, the unconscious mind keeps sending you warnings.

The unconscious mind is your protector. There are many dangers you must pay attention to. On the other hand, you are too ignorant. You don’t know how to behave. Yet, you inherit too much absurdity in the biggest part of your brain. Your anti-conscience doesn’t let you evolve.

By interpreting the meaning of your dreams, you learn how to become a self-confident person, and find answers to all questions. You are in constant contact with the wise unconscious mind that knows everything. You also learn many secrets about other people, the future, and the world you live in.

We have something of a major shift in our society right now with all the social networks like Twitter, and Facebook. Often people associate more with their online identities than their actual identities in the real world. As the coordinator for a think tank which operates online I’m beginning to see a rather troubling challenge which lies ahead. You see, when folks fill out their applications to join, they have all sorts of ideas, but they have no practical experience in the real world.

They care very much about what’s going on in the world, they want to see alternative energy, and they enjoy reading all the online newsletters, and articles on science, philosophy, psychology, innovations, space, infrastructure, geopolitics, and the like. They have so many ideas on the best way to run a civilization and/or what products should come to market and be fast tracked in the innovation process. That’s all well and good but they’ve never actually taken a product or service to market, and they’ve never worked in a company at the level where they were actually making decisions.

Much of their observations comes from their friends on social networks who haven’t done anything either. Worse, because all their friends tell them they are smart, they assume that they are, but the reality is they’ve adopted all kinds of information they’ve heard the media, heard from a politician, or comments that someone left on their social networking page, as their own thoughts. But that information is available to everyone, it’s not unique to them, however apparently if they have lots of friends on their Facebook page they think they must be very smart.

Not long ago, in Kurzweil’s Accelerating Intelligence online newsletter titled; “The Dangers of E-Personality” which was posted on March 11, 2011. The article stated; “Excessive use of the Internet, cell phones, and other technologies can cause us to become more impatient, impulsive, forgetful and narcissistic according to a new book on “e-personality,” says psychiatrist Elias Aboujaoude, MD, clinical associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and director of Stanford’s pulse control and obsessive-compulsive disorder clinics, in a new book, Virtually You: The Dangerous Powers of the E-Personality.”

Indeed, this would be a great book to read, and perhaps it speaks to my own observations working at our think tank. We have a real problem out there. One thing I’ve noticed is when I asked questions of individuals, or what they think, they immediately go onto Google, and look at the subject, and e-mail back with their relative decision. What they don’t seem to understand is that everyone in the world can do the same thing, and anyone who knows about the topic, or works in that industry already knows all that information.

The problem is these individuals aren’t thinking, and yet they think they are smart, when they don’t know much of anything, and have never done anything in the real world. I’m not sure if that is relevant, and I think it’s even worse when people prescribe to the self assessment and unearned ego as an achievement into their intellectual capacity. That’s false ego, and it can be quite dangerous. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this.

Profiling is a science of observation, study and exploitation of traces of a crime scene, a person, or an animal to determine the relevance of such traces to an investigated crime, event or personality and behavior in general.

Anthropological and Psychological profiling

Profiling consists of several major types:

Cultural profiling

Racial profiling

Predictive profiling

Forensic information technology

Drug profiling

Offender profiling

Digital image forensic

DNA profiling

Performance profiling

The information obtained from profiling is known as forensic, such information is widely relied upon by judiciary systems, such as courts, and police enforcement agencies to determine what happens in a crime scene and help in assumption of criminal behavior.

However, such information is not restricted to the use of such bodies, but rather extends to assisting observers to broaden the comprehension of studied cases or individuals when applied by intelligence agencies or any security related bodies.

Profiling and forensic profiling is used in all fields of studies and not only humans, in fact, this science is developing and advancing very rapidly despite scientific criticism to its viable application.

Generally, forensic profiling refers to the profiling practices of discovering the correlation between acquired data related to studied subject or case as an identifying process and a categorization of groups and data acquired, such as nominal data (persons or objects and their relation due to an investigation) and crime data which is physical tracks of criminal activities on crime scenes be it a witness, a laptop or a mobile phone…

The most commonly used profiling techniques are data mining techniques, such as generating profiles based upon discovered data and the relevance of its patterns.

The four phases of profiling (Gregg O McCrary):

- Antecedent: The murderer’s plan, fantasy and drive prior to committing the crime.

- Method and manner: type of selected victims and method used to commit the crime.

- Body disposal: If the murder and the body disposal took place at one or, multiple scenes.

- Post offense behavior: if the murderer tries to publicize himself by reaching the media or contacting investigators.

Profiling is based on common sense, yet its applied measures varies from culture to culture and race to race, it is an advanced investigative tool while its effectiveness is still under a lot of scientific scrutiny since it is mostly a speculative art still. An Indian would shake his head from left to right in an affirmative gesture or expression, while a Caucasian by doing so would indicate to a denial gesture or expression, an owl in the Middle East is looked upon as a bad omen, while in the west it symbolizes wisdom, and so on…

Profiling relates behavioral science and relies on observation and analysis.

It is accepted that the evolution of human racial and physical features generates from their inherited behavior due to a specific environment and way of adaptation. Lets take for instance an African negroid thick lips evolved due to an adapting process to help preserve moisture, an aborigine of Australia or Papua New Guinea developed thick eye browse to protect his eyes from sun rays, a Bedouin desert folk did so with a larger or longer nose to help him breath better in desert climate, and women living in hot and humid terrains tend to have a larger buttocks to preserve body fat etc…

Therefore; profiling relies heavily on the understanding of the subject cultural and ethical background, and that in itself is based upon relative measures and speculations.

Though profiling is regarded to be a part of science, yet a successful profiler needs to be very talented if he is to produce an effective and accurate profiling.

Profiling goes back in history to the middle ages, and Scotland Yard took it a step further, while Sherlock Holmes character made it even more popular, then there is the CSI series of late filling the rest of the empty cup of the thirsty TV shows viewers.

Remember; we apply our own spontaneous profiling in daily life by what we interpret and perceive from the body language that we use from one another.
