We have been testing the hypotheses that our unconscious behaviors are often more predominant than our conscious behaviors. We have tried to quantify the degree of influence of our genetic factors and unconscious signals from the environment in our behaviors. In this paper, the concept and the research framework of MyFinder proposed by the authors are discussed. MyFinder combines the notion of intelligent agent from the artificial intelligence (AI) community and personal genome research results from the biomedical community. One of the important objectives of MyFinder is to allow the person to be conscious of (i.e., be aware of) her/his unconscious behaviors. The on-going experiments related to the Quantified Self (QS) and Citizen Science, as well as author's real experiences are introduced. We discuss the meaning of self-awareness and the social impact of our findings.
