Discipline

My initial idea is to test a persons self discipline. Obviously there are many forms that can be used to get a idea of a persons discipline .The key to this device will be the variables such as motivation and reward. A person who has to start work at 8:30 sharp every morning or he will be punished may show up on time every morning, but take the threat of a punishment away and would he still turn up on time? A person who continually shows up on time despite the threat of punishment would perhaps be considered self disciplined.
Other minor forms which may be used is posture and concentration can also be used to measure discipline.
My plan create a device that would test a person when there at their most vulnerable, waking up in the morning, perhaps testing ability to perform a task by a certain time.
A device like this could be a reality check for a anyone hoping to reach a goal in life, as we can not advance and improve ourselves without a little self discipline.
