THE ART OF PROFILING
Reading People Right the First Time
DAN KOREM

Reading people is a natural reaction. Now learn how to profile people like a trained professional—with comprehensive and systematic accuracy that extends beyond just reading body language.

Abstract: Until now, the ability to accurately profile people has been reserved for trained professionals, such as human resource professionals or profilers with the FBI.

Dan Korem, a critically acclaimed investigative journalist, has developed a landmark system for profiling people within just a few minutes of interaction—and in many cases, without asking any questions. In fact, you will learn how to profile people whom you have never met—even if you can’t speak their language. This is made possible by answering just four direct questions in your mind about someone. Once answered, you are able to access a comprehensive data sheet of information that includes a person’s:

Strengths Shortcomings General Tendencies

How to Sell/Present How to Confront Interaction Suggestions

Korem, noted for using profiling skills to conduct illuminating interviews and obtaining unique confessions, was asked in the late 1980s by the presidents of a number of major companies to develop a profiling system that could be practically used in professional and personal environments to more effectively:

Hire personnel Manage teams Negotiate Sell and close Sharpen communication skills

Teach and educate Consult with clients Reduce conflict and diffuse confrontations Detect deception Nurture and discipline children

The Korem Profiling System was carefully developed over a period of several years to meet these needs, based upon well accepted research from academia and reviewed by behavioral science experts. It was also presented at the FBI National Academy to over ninety of the top police psychologists. Its acceptance has been immediate.

A profiling system must be reliable and easily learned by nonexperts to meet their unique needs—from auditors, to teachers, to sales, to parents. Having taught many diverse professionals from Fortune 500 and professional organizations in the US and abroad how to profile, Korem carefully refined the teaching process so that anyone can learn to profile without years of training.

The lessons in The Art of Profiling are simple and direct. Just an hour or two a week over a period of several weeks and one’s profiling skills will significantly improve.

Those who travel abroad or who work with diverse cultural groups will find the Korem Profiling System invaluable. One can now accurately profile people from foreign cultures—even if one can’t speak the language.

You will also learn how to profile the Random Actor, one of the most dangerous types of deceivers, by just answering two questions. Perpetrators of work place violence, cult leaders, terrorists, are often Random Actors. Suggestions for diffusing confrontations with Random Actors are also provided, which many in law enforcement regard as a significant break-through.
