The only information required is your students' birth data.

Please be accurate. Remember "GIGO". ("Garbage In, Garbage Out").

2. Prepare a list of all your students. In this list include for each student a unique sequential identifier and their birth data: (birthdate, birthtime & location).

   Anything you use for an identifier is acceptable if it keeps each student record unique. You will need to recognize each student by this identifier when you receive our report so that you can group them accordingly. Our reports won't have the students' names. Please keep in mind that we do not need to know anything else about your students in order to help your school. You do not need to send any other information. Your students' privacy is protected.

   You can use any consistent date format. In the first line of the list, specify the date format used: mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy or yyyy/mm/dd. It is important to ensure consistency of the date format throughout the list.

   It is important to list the students' birth data as completely and accurately as possible. It's preferable to get it from their birth certificate. If a birth date is unknown please note this with the word "unknown". If a birth time is unavailable, enter "unknown". If a birth time is only approximately known, please note this with the word "approx" like "14:00 approx". We can still show you remarkable results. See the example below.

3. Format the list as a spreadsheet with one row for each student.
   

   Now COPY the list into TWO spreadsheets.

   The original list will be your School Key List as shown below - keep the name of the student AND the ID number and the birth data. You keep this list in your school and refer to it later when you receive our reports. This will be the way you will find the names of the students who we will specify by number in our reports. IMPORTANT: You need to make a special column for the ID number. Do not use the spreadsheet row number, since that is not connected to each record when you sort the spreadsheet. You need an ID field with each record.

   The original list with the students' names is the School Key List

   SequentialID	StudentID	StudentName	(mm/dd/yyyy)	(24hh:mm)	(location)
   107	HJ41	Hal Jordan	10/09/1993	01:00 approx	Leicester UK
   108	CK51	Clark Kent	02/23/1997	23:10	Mumbai India
   109	LL72	Lana Lang	05/15/1998	03:45	Edo Japan
   110	JJ87	John Jones	12/06/1993	unknown	Lyons France
   111	TS35	Tony Stark	01/12/1994	18:36	Hollywood Florida

   The second list will be the Altissima Data List - Drop the student name column from this list and keep only the ID number with the birth data. This is the list you will send to us in ASCII text file format. We can work with lists formatted as "quote delimited" or "comma delimited" or "field length". The example below is "field length". it is organized in columns with defined widths. Prepare this list as an plain simple ASCII text file like a CSV file. Please do not compress the file.

   The second list without the student names is the Altissima Data List.
   

   SequentialID	(mm/dd/yyyy)	(24hh:mm)	(location)
   107	10/09/1993	01:00 approx	Leicester UK
   108	02/23/1997	23:10	Mumbai India
   109	05/15/1998	03:45	Edo Japan
   110	12/06/1993	unknown	Lyons France
   111	01/12/1994	18:36	Hollywood Florida

4. Send your school contact data and Altissima Data List via this form:
   
5. Your Demonstration Report will arrive within three weeks.
   We'll contact you within two or three days. Then within two to three weeks after you send your list, you will receive a report which outlines several sample groups for you to assemble and evaluate at your own pace. The students in each group will be similar or compatible with regard to important psychological traits.
6. Assemble the classes.
   Assemble the classes as defined by the reports. It is preferable that you not tell the teachers anything about the grouping system so that their reports will not be swayed by expectations and you will have their candid impressions of the new classes. All work is strictly confidential. Remember, you will send us only a unique identifier and birthdata for each student in your school. The teachers need not make any changes at all.
7. Send Feedback.
   When you see and hear the results from the teachers and students, send us the feedback. We are interested to have your impressions and evaluations.
