An automated method for assessing a behavioral profile of an individual based on image processing, the behavior profile being specific to a hypothetical or actual event, the method including the steps of detecting non-verbal communication from a physiognomical expression of the individual based on image data by a first computer algorithm, the image data being created by exposing the individual to a stimulus and obtaining the physiognomical expression of the individual in response to the stimulus, correlating features of the non-verbal communication to a topical area by a second computer algorithm, and generating a report corresponding to the individual that reflects the correlation between the non-verbal communication and the topical area, the report including the behavior profile of the individual.
