The PRDC, Inc. was organized in January 2001 by a group of Certified Personologists who wanted to continue the work of Edward V. Jones and Robert Whiteside. Only Personology Courses taught by a “recognized PRDC, Inc. teacher or trainer” shall include Certification by the PRDC, Inc. Currently our training manuals are obtained from the Personology Institute, however, our policies and standards for record keeping and training are more stringent and comprehensive than those of the Institute.

As a non-profit organization, we seek to broaden the scope of personology and engage in additional research and development. Much of the current data is over fifty years old and we seek to update it and incorporate the many technical aids that are available today.

The basics of the JWB personology techniques and methods were developed by the Personology Institute and its predecessors. All officers of the PRDC, Inc. are encouraged to affiliate with the Personology Institute of San Diego, CA.

As a fledgling business, we have little history as of yet. In January 2001 we incorporated and have just created this website to help us with our work.

Our business is to research and develop and promote JWB Personology and to refine the old and create new ways for all people who want to use it. We want to make JWB Personology popular and user friendly. We want our craft and profession to be accurate and scientifically validated.

Our markets are anyone who interacts with other people; parents, employers, employees, teachers, coaches, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, counselors, law enforcement officers, judges, attorneys, politicians, ministers, managers, doctors, nurses, massage therapists, physical therapists, instructors, tutors, mentors, volunteers, etc.

1. Set up and Maintain Staff Offices
2. Create new research on previously validated traits
3. Validate the present unvalidated traits
4. Research and validate new traits
5. Creation of new training materials and methods
6. Creation of computer programs to produce profiles and to do measurements
7. Do comparison studies on personology vs. other personality methods

Our goal is to elevate JWB Personology to its rightful status as an accepted and accurate tool for understanding and using one's innate personality. In other words, a tool to augment the unfoldment of an individual's true loving spirit!
