Summary/Abstract: This paper will present some of the results of an active experiment attained by testing motor abilities and measuring anthropometric attributes of 225 subjects. Using MatLab software a model was created along with 3D graphics which are a visual representation of a function with its peak and trough values as determined by two selected parameters, thus yielding the expanded or narrowed ability limits of the test group as a whole. Combinations of tests used for measurement have shown that there exists a variability in manifested motor abilities, as well as differences between empirical results and theoretical expectations. Therefore, to ascertain optimal solutions in the field of psychomotor learning and anthropometry the active experiment method (AEM) may be used as well. Deviations from any predetermined model (cliché) are very likely in a virtual multidimensional combination. The AEM confirms this assumption since certain analyses have generated better solutions. The question remains whether the value of such solutions would be confirmed in practice. In reality, many theoretical solutions do not conform to the derived practical solutions. This especially holds true in anthropological sciences. Creating models and clichés pertaining to human subjects in anthropological sciences is a much more demanding, complex task with unreliable outcomes due to the unpredictability of relations and the difficulty of aligning them in a model.
