Abstract

A method and electronic device for self-affirmation and development of purposeful behavior includes displaying a purposeful inquiry interface including a plurality of navigation elements. The method also includes receiving a first navigation selection input corresponding to the first navigation element. The method further includes displaying explore interface including a plurality of explore interface elements. Each explore interface element corresponds to a particular activity. The method also includes receiving explore selection inputs. The method also includes storing data associated with the explore selection inputs.

generating, using an artificial intelligence algorithm, based on the at least one database, a first plurality of current best traits shared by the plurality of members of the particular group;

for each particular member of the plurality of members of the particular group that includes the particular user:

displaying, by the data processing hardware, on a corresponding display of a corresponding electronic device associated with the particular member, a plurality of self-assessment interface elements each corresponding to a selectable current best trait of the first plurality of current best traits; and

receiving, at the data processing hardware, from the corresponding electronic device associated with the particular member, one or more corresponding self-assessment selection inputs, each self-assessment selection input corresponding to selection of a particular self-assessment interface element of the plurality of self-assessment interface elements that corresponds to a particular current best trait of the first plurality of current best traits that the particular member self-identifies as wanting to possess;

based on the self-assessment selection inputs received from the plurality of members of the particular group that includes the particular user:

generating, by the data processing hardware, using the artificial intelligence algorithm, based on the at least one database, a plurality of words, wherein each word of the plurality of words represents a particular one of the first plurality of current best traits that one or more of the plurality of members self-identified as wanting to possess; and

for each corresponding word of the plurality of words, determining, by the data processing hardware, a frequency that the particular current best trait represented by the corresponding word was selected by the plurality of members; and

for each particular member of the plurality of members of the particular group that includes the particular user, displaying, by the data processing hardware, on the corresponding display of the corresponding electronic device associated with the particular member, a group-level visualization interface including a word cloud of the plurality of words, the word cloud of the plurality of words graphically representing the frequencies that the current best traits represented by the plurality of words were selected by the plurality of members such that each word of the plurality of words in the word cloud comprises a respective size that corresponds to the frequency that the particular best trait represented by the corresponding word was selected by the plurality of members.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the group-level visualization interface is updated in real time.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the respective size of each corresponding word of the plurality of words in the word cloud increases as the frequency that the particular current best trait represented by the corresponding word was selected by the plurality of members.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises, in response to receiving the one or more self-assessment selection inputs, displaying on the display a constellation, the constellation generated based on data corresponding to the one or more self-assessment selection inputs.

5. An electronic device comprising:

a display associated with a user;

an input device;

one or more processors; and

memory in communication with the one or more processors and storing one or more programs that, when executed on the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

displaying, on the display, a purposeful inquiry interface including a plurality of navigation elements, each of the plurality of navigation elements corresponding to a self-identified level of purposefulness, wherein the plurality of navigation elements includes a first navigation element corresponding to an explore interface and a second navigation element corresponding to a reflection interface;

while displaying the purposeful inquiry interface, receiving, via the input device, from the user, a first navigation selection input corresponding to selection of the first navigation element;

in response to receiving the first navigation selection input:

interfacing with at least one database comprising a group-level dataset for a particular group that includes the user, the group-level dataset for the particular group comprising corresponding activities for each particular member of the particular group that the particular member has self-identified as having improved their respective purposefulness;

generating, using an artificial intelligence algorithm, based on the at least one database, a plurality of explore interface elements, each explore interface element corresponding to a selectable activity that is self-identified by members of the particular group as having improved their respective purposefulness; and

displaying, on the display, the explore interface, the explore interface including the plurality of explore interface elements, each explore interface element corresponding to a particular activity;

while displaying the explore interface, receiving, via the input device, from the user, one or more explore selection inputs, the one or more explore selection inputs corresponding to a particular explore interface element;

in response to receiving the one or more explore selection inputs, storing data associated with the one or more explore selection inputs in the at least one database;

while displaying the purposeful inquiry interface, receiving, via the input device, from the user, a second navigation selection input corresponding to selection of the second navigation element;

in response to receiving the second navigation selection input, displaying, on the display, the reflection interface, the reflection interface including a plurality of reflection improvement interface elements each associated with a corresponding trait that the user would want to work on improving;

receiving, via the input device, from the user, a reflection improvement input indicating selection of a particular reflection improvement interface element of the plurality of reflection improvement interface elements that is associated with the corresponding trait that the user self-identifies as wanting to work on improving;

in response to receiving the reflection improvement input, displaying, on the display, a reflection elaboration interface;

while displaying the reflection elaboration interface:

providing, for display in the reflection elaboration interface, an inquiry message prompting the user to input text indicating why the user wants to work on improving the corresponding trait associated with the particular reflection improvement interface that the user self-identified as want to working on improving; and

receiving, in the reflection elaboration interface, from the user, a free-form text input including free-form text indicating why working on improving the corresponding trait is important to the user;

processing, using natural language processing through artificial intelligence, the free-form text to determine a plurality of follow-up reflections each associated with a particular activity the user can engage into align with their best self for improving the corresponding trait; and

displaying, on the display, the plurality of follow-up reflections.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the operations further comprise, in response to receiving the one or more explore selection inputs, generating for display, one or more actions list interface elements, each one or more actions list interface element corresponding to each of the one or more explore selection inputs.
