Clients span the globe and include brand name and governmental organizations that leverage the benefits of personality for understanding, teamwork, and leadership. Dario gained Myers-Briggs personality certification in 1994 under the instruction of Dr. Linda Berens and has been intimately involved in product development and research of personality-based tools ever since. Including the below books:

Dario has also authored self-help software tools, including "Personality Types" and "Love Therapy" for the Apple iPhone / iPad. For details, visit www.PersonalityApps.com and www.LoveTherapyApps.com.
Dario also works with MatrixInsights to bring organizations and consultants an online leadership dashboard that includes video-based assessment, training, and team-building. For details, see www.MatrixInsights.com.
In 2009, Dario acted as the conference chair for the International Association of Psychological Type's biennial conference in Dallas, Texas. He regularly acts as a keynote speaker, and webinar and workshop presenter for regional, national and international organizations such as Google Inc., Providence Tarzana Medical Center, CPP-Asia Pacific, Attentional Ltd., and Danish Center for Leadership, among others. In September 2014, Dario presented along with Roger Hamilton and other entrepreneurial luminaries at The Global Trust Conference.
Dario takes a systems approach to personality. This includes the use of multiple complementary models to triangulate a person's best-fit personality type. By "type," he means a sustainable pattern of activity, or in mathematical terms, a strange attractor within a living dynamic system (after all, persons as implemented as dynamic systems, not as statistical ones).
Finally, in partnership with his mom, Laura Power, MS, PhD, LDN, Dario helps present the results of her extensive research on body types, food allergies, and other body- and health-related issues. See www.BioType.net for details.

Moreover, after he supervised over 1500 research projects, he edited a collection of best projects in "Readings in Formal Modeling and Simulation in the Social Sciences." For details, see: www.radiancehouse.com/itemRH_700.htm.
Dario supervised two instances of the Lake Arrowhead Annual Conference on Multi-Agent Modeling in the Social Sciences. He also wrote experiment-based software for fellow instructors on such topics as prospect theory and meme diffusion through friendship networks.
While at UCLA, Dario won three awards: the 2005 Copenhaver Award for Innovative Use of Technology in the Classroom; the Outstanding Professor Award, granted in 2007 by UCLA's Mortor Board Honor Society; and UCLA's 2011 annual Distinguished Teaching award.
As a popular instructor, Dario often incorporates non-traditional teaching techniques such as outdoor live-group simulation activities, robot-human stage plays, and software-based audio-visual experimentation to teach New Science concepts such as emergence, attractors, nonlinear feedback, multi-agency, and living systems theory. He is a fan of tools such as Fuzzy Cognitive Maps and Multi-agent Models as ways to better understand complex phenomena.
