Sure, it sounds like you want a 
personality-analysis-slash-expert-system-slash-teaching-thingy.  That'd 
be cool to have.

Meanwhile, lets write a simple version first... *then* get complicated 
with it after we've tested the concept.

If you can think of a straightfoward way to implement what you want, 
then it might be practical in the short term after all.

What do you reckon... ?
