The Art of Profiling

Dan Korem, a critically acclaimed investigative journalist, developed the landmark Korem Profiling System® (KPS) for rapid-fire profiling people on the spot after just a few minutes of interaction and in many cases, without asking any questions. In fact, you can profile people whom you have never met—even if you can’t speak their language. You learn to do this by answering four simple and direct questions in your mind about someone.

Once answered, you can access a 3-page profile that includes:
