A data driven intelligent learning and development apparatus and method using an assessment of various traits of an individual to develop skill practice areas, each with one or more development strategies to enhance and/or maintain selected skills of an individual related to the practice areas.
Please help me write a proper abstract based on the patent claims. CLAIM: 1. A method for individual learning and development to improve traits of the individual, the method comprising: assessing assessments of an individual relating to at least one trait of the individual and the personal characteristics and performance of an individual in the at least one trait; preparing a list of skill practice areas for the individual relating to the personal skills and characteristics and performance of the individual; providing for each practice area, at least one development strategy for enhancing and/or maintaining the skills of the individual in each practice area; and presenting at least one practice area with at least one development strategy associated with the at least one practice area to the individual. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: presenting a list of practice areas to the individual by ranking the practice areas from the practice areas requiring the most learning of the individual to the practice areas requiring a lesser amount of learning. 3. The method of claim 2, further comprising: allowing customizing of the ranking of listed practice areas by the individual. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: providing a learning schedule for the individual for at least one of each practice area and at least one development strategy. 5. The method of claim 4, further comprising: providing at least two individually selectable learning schedules, each learning schedule presenting one of a new practice area or a new development strategy to the individual at different time intervals. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein: the at least two learning schedules includes providing one of a selectable self-pace learning schedule by the individual and an automatic learning schedule presenting at least one of a practice area and at least one development strategy to the individual on a periodic time basis. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising: allowing access to a knowledge center containing selectable media to enhance and/or maintain the individual's skill in at least one of a practice area and a development strategy in a practice area. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising: allowing an individual to add and remove practice areas from the list of practice areas. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising: displaying a plurality of practice areas for selection by the individual. 10. The method of claim 8, further comprising: allowing the individual to reorder the practice areas in the list of practice areas displayed to the individual. 11. The method of claim 1, further comprising: providing a periodic reminder to the individual related to a development strategy provided to the individual. 12. The method of claim 11, further comprising: presenting a skill related media to the individual related to a development strategy with the periodic reminder. 13. An apparatus for individual learning and development to improve traits of an individual, comprising: a computer processor with a memory, the computer processor accessing a source of trait assessment data of at least one individual; an assessable store containing a plurality of practice areas to develop skills of an individual, each practice area having at least one development strategy to enhance and/or maintain an individual's skill in the related practice area; the computer processor executing program instructions to: access assessments of an individual relating to traits of the individual; prepare a list of skill practice areas for the individual relating to the traits assessment; provide, for each practice area, at least one development strategy directed to skills of the individual in the practice area; and present at least one practice area with at least one development strategy associated with the at least one practice area to the individual; and an interactive processor and display for presenting the practice areas and the development strategies to the individual. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, further comprising: a knowledge based media store of selectable skill related media. 15. The apparatus of claim 13, further comprising: the computer processor executing control program instructions to create a learning schedule for an individual for at least one of each practice area and development strategy.
