A new method of
profiling high school students in the
United States, first proposed by the
American Psychological Association through the
Pinkerton Agency's
WAVE America campaign.
Officially known as "ATTYCRT3YCF" (or "Attorney Critic F"), this program would profile high school students in several fashions:
- Visual Recollection collection
- Each WAVE America poster would be distinctively designed, and contain several subliminal messages. Each poster would have a slightly different phone number. The subliminal messages (things you can't remember) would dictate which number you would remember (things you can't forget), which would reveal information about one's id to the psychologists monitoring the experiment.
- Standardized Test manipulation
- Each classroom environment will contain subtle nonsense phrases partially obscured by subtle emotional triggers. For example, the phrase "fartwaddle zamzed trajnwal" might be concealed in the image of a mugging. Mugging victims will shy away from these images (things they can't forget, but want to), and hence never learn the nonsense words (things they can't forget) which will aid the psychologists in their quest.
This
proposal was eventually discarded by the Pinkertons, not for
privacy or
educational sanctity concerns, but for the
price tag - it was proposed that every student be assigned their own,
personal psychologist.
