Raghav Chandra, a senior IAS officer and the brain behind the portal, has developed a "global perception rating framework" which, he says, will help rate personalities according to their ethics and ideals.

The tool has been employed by Conscience Compass, the hosts of the portal, to help users rate personalities on various scales.

On the eve of the launch of the portal, Pravir Krishak of Conscience Compass, told the agency: "scratchmysoul.Com is a comprehensive internet site for mapping the global citizen.

"But it's not just souls that cyber buffs can scratch here. They can also try their hand at 'mind mapping', 'body mapping', 'relationship mapping' and 'weaknesses and strengths mapping' and rate their favourites," he said.

While "mind mapping" will rate competence, "body mapping" will unravel personal attributes like style of talking, reading interests and spending habits of the subject.

A surfer can view his idol's ability to make friends and influence people by mapping relationships. There will also be regular updates on the many bouquets or brickbats the celebrities get. And feedback will be used to add "newsworthy" people.

Though the site has initially been hosted in English, Hindi and Mandarin services may follow soon.
