We estimate that it will cost $15,000-$25,000 to
produce a detailed personality portrait of a historical figure. Of course, we
appreciate any amount you care to give and will list you as a benefactor, for
whoever you contribute to, when we publish our findings.
We have all seen portraits of former presidents in the lobbies of banks. Yet, how
much of the person do these really convey? How will your children and their
descendants know who you were? Who their mother was? Even the likes of FDR, who
guided the US through the depression and the great war, worried that his essence
would be forgotten.

Steve Rubenzer, Ph.D., a clinical and forensic psychologist, can produce personality portraits
similar to those we produce for historical figures and presidents. Instead of relying on
biographers (unless you have some!), I will enlist family members and friends as sources - but
those who will be objective and will not simply say nice things.
Because the tests used are protected professional materials and cannot be simply mailed to you
for completion, testing must be accomplished under controlled conditions. There are two
options: I can travel to where you and your friends or family are (client pays expenses), or
you and your friends and family can come to me. All time is billed at $300.00/hour. A retainer
equal to the anticipated costs of the completed project is required in advance. Cost will vary
depending largely on the amount of time required to collect information from family and friends
and travel time. Hypothetically, this could be as little as eight hours. Writing up the profile
itself from the data collected will likely take 12-20 hours.
