摘要

An improved method for providing a consumer matching service, of the type having the steps of establishing a database of participating businesses which includes information on the experiences available from these businesses and also collecting consumer contact and experience sought information, includes the steps of: (a) establishing a consumer personality trait profile in which one's personality traits are predictive of how one is most likely to make a purchase or selection decision as it relates to choosing between an array of experiences available to a consumer, (b) ascribing to each of the available experiences similar personality traits, and (c) matching the consumer personality trait profile to the personality traits ascribed to the available items so as to compile for the consumer a list of ranked businesses which offer the experiences being sought by the consumer and most optimally match to the consumer's personality trait profile.
