A method for measuring the mathematical fitness of a plurality of user accounts. The method includes prompting an arbitrary account from the user accounts to solve a mathematical problem through a corresponding personal computing (PC) device. After receiving answering data, an external server compares the answering data against each of a plurality of solutions to identify a matching solution. Throughout this method, the external server monitors the PC device and measures a performance score, a persistence score, and records a user solving procedure. The user solving procedure is then compared to a usage frequency data for a plurality of known solving procedures in order to measure a creativity score. The arbitrary account can then view the performance score, the persistence score, and the creativity score in the form of a performance portfolio for the mathematical problem. This is repeated for each user account for a plurality of mathematical problems.
