THE PROFILE (AKA MAC ACTION INDICATORS: INSIGHTFUL ASSESSMENTS FOR PERSONAL-EMPOWERMENT FOR TEENAGERS & YOUNG ADULTS) contains a series of pro-active and powerful self-access personal assessments specifically designed for learners/readers between the ages of approximately 12 and 25.

The user-friendly, computerized PROFILE/MAC ACTION INDICATORS provides a plethora of potent and compelling sociological, historical and pedagogical data, statistical and non-statistical, to exhort and encourage the target population and their respective families, friends, neighbors, teammates, co-workers, and the like, to take mindful, appropriate and purposeful action, when necessary.

Instead of merely gathering vital data about a person in bits and pieces, as has heretofore been the case in most instances, the more comprehensive MAC ACTION INDICATORS allows an in-depth, significantly fuller analysis of the individual in question so that a multi-faceted self-profile emerges, one which clearly highlights and explains a number of that individual’s specific academic, as well as personal strengths, weaknesses, behavior commonalities, belief systems, career potentials, relationship matches, and the like.

By working through the sundry assessments on the computer at one’s own pace and in privacy and by applying the findings of this dynamic personal profile in a guided manner, one can readily look back at one’s life as it has been, look forward to one’s life as it can become and look inward at the Self as to where one is now “in the moment”--or out of it. Your results are to be shared with Dr. Mac and recommendations will be made, if necessary; plans for your personal program will be formulated, as well.

In the case of the self-empowering MAC ACTION INDICATORS, the whole is truly greater than the sum of the parts.
