The problem of selecting reliable and effective psychodiagnostic methods for studying the personality of police officers has always been relevant and, apparently, will remain so for quite a long time. The reasons for this are different and are due to a number of objective, subjective and situational factors. Thus, the requirement of economy brings to the fore psychological examinations with minimal time spent on their conduct, processing and interpretation of psychodiagnostic information. The lack of a differentiated approach in the choice of normative data reduces the predictive capabilities of psychological conclusions. The diagnostic criteria for special applications of personality study tools have not been sufficiently developed, for example, for solving the problems of psychological examination during admission to service with weapons of traffic police officers, commandant units, etc.

Without exaggeration, it can be argued that one of the effective diagnostic methods is the Five-Factor Personality Questionnaire ( NEO Five- factor Inventory, Big Five, "Big Five", or "Big Five Markers", Costa & McCrae). The questionnaire or FFI is designed for a comprehensive study of the personality of employees based on measuring its five basic factors: “neuroticism” (Neuroticism, N), “extroversion” (Extraversion, E), “openness to experience” (Openness to experience, O), “consent” / "accommodating" / "goodwill" (Agreeableness, A) and "consciousness" (Conscientiousness, C). It was the analysis of the practice of using this questionnaire, its renormalization and assessment of the possibilities that were the purpose of our study.

In a longitudinal study conducted in 2007–2015, students of the VIPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and some other educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, police officers (a total of 1748 people; men - 85.3%, women - 14.7%) took part.

The examination was carried out using the automated complex AWP "Psychotest" (PsychoTest) . Statistical processing of psychodiagnostic data included the calculation of mean values ​​and standard deviations (Table 1) for each of the scales.

The updated (received by us) data have statistically significant differences from the norms currently used in departmental psychodiagnostic practice. Thus, all normative indicators were significantly reduced, which led to an unreasonable overestimation of the results. For example, the Conscientiousness factor in 100% of the subjects always took high and ultra-high values ​​(Fig. 1). 70% of employees had 9 stanes, which, from the point of view of psychometrics for the general sample, does not correspond to reality.

The recalculation of primary data (1748 people), taking into account the new norms, significantly brought the distribution closer to normal (Gaussian). As a consequence, the resulting (new) scale "C" has high differential capabilities. Similar conclusions are valid for other FFI factors.

Rice. one. Distribution of the indicator "Consciousness" (Conscientiousness, C)

In addition to the main scales, five diagnostic indices, designed to solve special problems of psychological selection and support of professional activities .

1. The index "Psychological readiness to serve with weapons" assesses the degree of formation of professionally important personality traits that determine the reliability of professional activity when serving with weapons. The leading psychological characteristics are: responsibility, organization, discipline, sense of duty, self-confidence, restraint, friendliness and pragmatism. Readiness for activity and service with weapons is associated with the harmonious psychological state of the individual.

2. Index " Additional attention from a psychologist» identifies individuals whose personality traits determine an increased likelihood of maladjustment states not only in stressful or extreme, but also in normal service conditions, which potentially contributes to the development of neuropsychiatric and psychosomatic diseases, antisocial (delinquent) behavior, auto-aggression, leads to decrease in the efficiency and reliability of professional activity. These are people who need increased psychological attention, as well as those who need additional support in professional development, personality formation and development, and mental health maintenance.

3. Index " Psychological fitness for service in extreme conditions» is designed to diagnose individual psychological characteristics that determine the reliability and success of employees' professional activities in extreme situations.

4. Index " Adaptive (professional-psychological) potential of an individual» (adaptability) diagnoses a complex of individual psychological characteristics that determine effective interaction with the professional environment that is adequate to the requirements of the changed situation without excessive mental stress. Adaptability takes into account the presence of regulatory mental qualities that determine behavior adequate to the given conditions of the "external" environment, effective interaction with it, and the optimal level of neuropsychic stress.

5. Index " The degree of professional deformity of the personality» evaluates changes in the personality characteristics of the individual in the asocial direction, resulting from the impact of negative features of the content, organization and conditions of professional activity. External forms of manifestation of professional deformation of a personality can be different: increased conflict, lack of motivation to work, a significant decrease in the effectiveness of professional activity, systematic violations of service discipline, etc.

The accuracy of the above indices was studied by the method of comparison with expert estimates (Table 2).

Sufficiently high rates of predictive assessments (more than 80%) allow us to assert that the indices accurately indicate the presence or absence of relevant issues, as well as the specifics of the service. At the same time, predictive capabilities, as a rule, turn out to be higher in “polar” gradations (1 or 3).

Thus, the scientific study we conducted made it possible to evaluate the effectiveness and clarify the normative indicators of the Five-Factor Personality Questionnaire, to formulate proposals for improving the technology of working with it. We believe that the capabilities of this toolkit can significantly expand the scope of its application, for example, in studying the personality of employees who demonstrate certain types of deviant behavior, in individualizing the forms and methods of psychological training and assistance, and in predicting professional and personal development.

A five-factor personality questionnaire, better known as the "Big Five" ("Magnificent Five") was developed in 1983-1985. American psychologists R. McCrae and P. Costa. Subsequently, the questionnaire was improved and in its final form in 1992 it was presented by the NEO PI test (from the English "neuroticism, extraversion, openness - a personality questionnaire").

According to the authors, the five independent variables identified on the basis of factor analysis (neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, cooperation, conscientiousness) are quite enough to adequately describe the psychological portrait of a person.

The questionnaire was designed for an honest and cooperative subject and does not contain scales designed to test the veracity of answers. Therefore, it is very important to properly instruct the subject.

This article presents a version of the adaptation of 5PFQ (compiled by Hiijiro Teuin) adapted by A.B. Khromov.

The five-factor personality questionnaire is a set of 75 paired, opposite in meaning, stimulus statements that characterize human behavior. The stimulus material has a five-point Likert rating scale (-2; -1; 0; 1; 2), which can be used to measure the severity of each of the five factors (extroversion - introversion; attachment - isolation; self-control - impulsiveness; emotional instability - emotional stability ; expressiveness - practicality).

Theoretical basis

The theoretical basis of the questionnaire is a five-factor personality model.

Five fundamental factors that make it possible to characterize the structure of a person's personality were identified as a result of scientific research by psychologists from different countries (G. Allport, D. Gilford, R. Cattell, G. Eysenck, R. McCray, P. Costa, etc.) for five decades. These factors include:

  • "neuroticism" (neuroticism, N),
  • ”extraversion” (extraversion, E),
  • “openness to experience” (openness to experience, O),
  • "consent" (agreebleness, A),
  • "consciousness" (conscientiousness, C).

R. McCrae and P. Costa used the following terms to designate five factors: 1. neuroticism, 2. extraversion, 3. openness to experience, 4. cooperation, 5. conscientiousness.

Adaptations and modifications

In the Russian translation, the questionnaire was adapted to the conditions of Russian culture by V. E. Orl in collaboration with A. A. Rukavishnikov and I. G. Senin. The Japanese version of the "Big Five" 5PFQ, (compiled by Hiijiro Teuin), which was also translated and adapted in 1995-1999, is known. to the domestic conditions of the social environment by psychologists of the Kurgan State University (A. B. Khromov).

Procedure

Instruction

Before you is a questionnaire consisting of 75 statements that are opposite in meaning, each of which reveals important personality traits and features of human behavior in certain life situations.

In this questionnaire, there are no statements right or wrong, just as there are no “good” or “bad” personality traits, so all 75 statements should be evaluated.

All stimulus phrases are separated by an evaluation scale. Read the statement carefully and determine which part of it best suits your personality. If you think that it is left, then use the symbols -2 and -1 of the scale for evaluation, if you think that it is right, then use the right side of the scale (+2 and +1). In numbers you will reflect the degree of severity of the trait being evaluated: 2 - strongly pronounced, 1 - weakly expressed, if you are in doubt about the choice, then choose 0.

All scores are entered in the left cell of the answer sheet.

Results processing

Estimated values ​​of statements are converted into points in accordance with the following table:

Point estimates are put down in the answer sheet in the right cells of the corresponding statements. Each of the main (secondary) five factors consists of five primary factors. For example, the main factor "extroversion - introversion" consists of primary factors 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5.

In quantitative terms, the primary factors are determined by summing up the three scores. For example, the primary factor 1.1 "activity - passivity" is estimated by the sum of points received for statements 1, 6, 11.

The summation of the scores of the primary factors along the vertical determines the quantitative expression of the corresponding main factor. For example, the sum of scores of primary factors 1.1, 1.2,1.3, 1.4, 1.5 determines the quantitative expression of the first main (secondary) factor "extraversion - introversion" (see Answer Form).

Regulatory data

The table below shows the norms of assessments on the scales of the five-factor questionnaire obtained during testing of adults and adolescents of both sexes, using which it is possible to transfer the test values ​​of the factors of a particular subject to the T-scale. On the basis of the values ​​of secondary and primary factors translated into one scale, it is possible to display in graphical form the psychological profile of the individual.

The T-score is calculated using the following formula:

T = 50 + \frac(10 (X - M))(S.D.)

where M is the arithmetic mean, S. D. is the standard deviation.

In each of the primary factors, the personality trait with high scores according to the Big Five is indicated on the left, while the personality trait with low scores is indicated on the right.

The sum of the scores of the primary factors along the vertical determines the quantitative expression of the main factor. The minimum number of points scored for any main factor is 15, the maximum number is 75. Conventionally, the scores can be divided into high (51-75 points), medium (41-50 points) and low (15-40 points).

Khromov A.B. Five-factor personality questionnaire: Educational and methodological manual. - Kurgan: Publishing House of the Kurgan State. University, 2000. - 23 p.

Posted On 03/12/2018

The classic "brand" test-questionnaire with a rich history is designed for rapid diagnostics of the level of expression of the five so-called "big" factors of temperament and character. They received this name in the 60-80s in the course of large-scale statistical and psycholinguistic studies conducted by independent specialists from different countries. One of these works was a study of the Russian-language vocabulary of personality traits, published in the 1990s, conducted by A.G. Shmelev and V.I. Pokhilko. Studies have confirmed that five factors are enough to build a complete psychological portrait of a person.

  • career guidance;
  • self-knowledge.

For the selection and evaluation of personnel using the five big personality factors, we recommend the ipsative version of this test.

STRUCTURE OF THE METHOD

The "Big Five" methodology consists of 100 items, suggesting 3 response options ("true", "difficult to answer", "not true").

An example of a task for the Big Five test.

The test run time is 25-35 minutes. The first five scales of the methodology represent an exact reproduction of the Big Five factors in their international version. The test also includes a scale social desirability, measuring a respondent's honesty.

In the Russian-language version of the questionnaire, the five most powerful factors of temperament and character received the following interpretation:

  • extraversion - introversion(high pole of the factor - sociability, self-confidence, active position in communication; low - restraint, isolation)
  • consent - independence(this scale is an indicator of the style of interpersonal interaction; a high pole is a tendency to cooperate, cooperate, friendliness, to an extreme extent - a statement; low - a tendency to rely on one's own opinion, compete, compete with other people, extreme severity - hostility)
  • self-control - impulsiveness(high indicators reflect the presence of such a group of qualities as punctuality, consistency, the ability to follow an algorithm, a standard, the extreme degree is pedantry; low indicators are situational, inconsistent, the ability to go beyond standard schemes of actions, to an extreme degree - the flexibility of moral judgments and randomness)
  • emotional stability - anxiety(this scale reflects stability, speed of adaptation to stressful situations, calmness, stability, self-confidence - at the high pole of the scale, they are opposite to emotionality, susceptibility, anxiety, insecurity - at a low one)
  • innovation-conservatism(this scale shows curiosity, passion, openness to new experience, transformation orientation at a high pole; and conservatism, pragmatic orientation, traditionalism, preservation orientation at a low pole)

PRESENTATION OF RESULTS

There are three report options:

For the respondent (a short and understandable description of the qualities of character, made in a friendly manner, without the use of professional terminology);
for a psychologist (an explanation of the reasons for the manifestation of the identified features, their correlation with other factor systems for describing a person);
business report (forecast of efficiency in various activities, description of the strengths and weaknesses of the respondent, forecast of conflict and behavior in a conflict situation).

Each report can include up to three blocks for presenting results in the form:

  • a graphical profile indicating the values ​​of the factors;
  • text messages-interpretation factors;
  • tabular data that includes raw scores, walls, and percentiles (percentage of the standardization sample).

HISTORY OF CREATION

BIG FIVE (English Big Five) - five personality factors that were most often identified as stable factors by independent scientists in different countries in the course of large-scale statistical and psycholinguistic studies. One of these works was a study of the Russian-language vocabulary of personality traits, published in the 1990s, conducted by A.G. Shmelev and V.I. Pokhilko.

The Big Five test questions are the most informative tasks that were selected as a result of experimental work with a bank of 260 tasks conducted under the guidance of A.G. Shmelev by a group of graduate students and students of the Faculty of Psychology of Moscow State University. A significant part of the analytical work was done by E.I. Rykhlevskaya. More than 200 subjects, students of Moscow universities, took part in the psychometric experiment.

With the help of confirmatory factor analysis (an analysis aimed at checking already formed factor keys), 15 questions were identified for each factor, which gave the maximum correlation with the total score. In 2002, the methodology was supplemented with a scale of "social desirability" (version "B5S-Plus"), which increased the number of questions to 90. The version "B5S-Plus5" uses the scale of "social desirability", modified and improved by V.V. Odintsova in 2004-2005

In the sixth version of the methodology (2007), the 5th scale (“Learning-inertia”) was replaced by the more traditional Big Five scale “Innovation-conservatism”. Bank of tasks expanded to 100 questions. The author of the questions is Ivanova O.N. The norms in this version of the methodology were updated in 2008 based on the analysis of the protocols of the subjects in the examination situation.

In the seventh version (2009), a new business interpretation was added to the methodology, which describes not only the respondent's personal qualities, but also his professional potential in various activities, strengths and weaknesses, and conflict forecast.

PSYCHOMETRIC PARAMETERS

The reliability of the test as a means of measurement is determined by the low probability of measurement errors of test scores and the extent to which the measurement results are reproduced when the test is used repeatedly in relation to this group of subjects. The internal consistency of the test was assessed by calculating the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. This coefficient is a measure of reliability based on the homogeneity of the scale or the sum of the correlations between subjects' answers to questions within the same test form.

Reliability-consistency (Cronbach's alpha coefficient):

EDUCATION

Training in working with the test methodology is available as a distance course. It is also possible individual (or in small groups) face-to-face training according to the program of individual user support. A methodological guide has been developed, which is supplied free of charge to all users of the test.

A five-factor personality questionnaire, better known as the "Big Five" ("Magnificent Five") was developed in 1983-1985. American psychologists R. McCrae and P. Costa. In the future, the questionnaire was improved; an improved version was published in 1992 under the name "NEO PI test" (from the English "neuroticism, extraversion, openness - personality questionnaire").

Five fundamental factors that make it possible to characterize the structure of a person's personality were identified as a result of scientific research by psychologists from different countries (G. Allport, D. Gilford, R. Cattell, G. Eysenck, R. McCray, P. Costa, etc.) for five decades. These factors include:

  1. "neuroticism" (neuroticism, N),
  2. ”extraversion” (extraversion, E),
  3. “openness to experience” (openness to experience, O),
  4. "consent" (agreebleness, A) and
  5. "consciousness" (conscientiousness, C).

Although researchers have already agreed on what these traits are, disagreements about their designation still remain.

R. McCrae and P. Costa used the following terms to designate five factors: 1. neuroticism, 2. extraversion, 3. openness to experience, 4. cooperation, 5. conscientiousness.

Japanese researcher Hiijiro Tsuyi, adapting the American five-factor personality technique for the Japanese population, proposed bipolarity for each factor: EXTRAVERSION - INTROVERSION, ATTENDANCE - SEPARATION, CONTROL - NATURALITY, EMOTIONALITY - EMOTIONAL RESTRICTION, PLAYFULNESS - PRACTICE, which allows, as he believes, characterize the personality more fully, since each pole of the trait reflects its originality.

The Japanese version of the "Big Five" is a set of 75 paired, opposite in meaning, stimulus statements that characterize human behavior. The stimulus material has a five-point Likert rating scale (-2; -1; 0; 1; 2) that can be used to measure the severity of each of the five factors.

According to his approach to the five-factor personality structure, Tsuyi characterizes the generalized trait-factors and their primary components as follows.

The first factor “EXTRAVERSION - INTROVERSION” is considered by H.

Five-factor personality questionnaire

Tsuyi is traditional, but unlike the interpretation proposed by W. Norman, the Japanese researcher takes into account the values ​​of the poles of this factor, the primary components of which are: activity - passivity, dominance - subordination, sociability - isolation, search for new impressions - avoidance of new impressions.

The essence of the second factor is interaction with people. The term "ATTACHMENT" for a factor is better suited than "conformity" used in the American original, and includes such personality dispositions as friendliness, gullibility, cooperation, as well as dependence and acceptance of the individual by the group. The opposite pole of this factor “SEPARATION” contains not only signs of distancing and rivalry, but also of independence. The components of the second factor are: warmth - indifference, cooperation - rivalry, gullibility - suspicion, understanding - misunderstanding, respect for others - self-respect.

The third factor is presented as "CONTROL - NATURAL". Tsuyi intentionally does not use the term "consciousness" because it has too close an attachment to ethical concepts and too narrow a semantic meaning. The essence of the third factor is volitional regulation of behavior. An individual who controls himself, as a rule, shows purposefulness, conscientiousness, methodicalness and perseverance. A person who is natural in his behavior, on the contrary, strives for harmonious relations with nature, he, as it were, “floats with the flow of life”. The Japanese version of the five-factor personality questionnaire contains the following primary components of this factor: accuracy - carelessness, perseverance - lack of perseverance, responsibility - irresponsibility, self-control - impulsiveness, foresight - carelessness.

The fourth factor contains the characteristics of the affective sphere of personality. EMOTIONALITY in humans is manifested in increased sensitivity to environmental influences, especially in stressful situations. Such a person is also predisposed to anxiety and depression. EMOTIONAL RESTRAINT, on the contrary, characterizes a person as inclined to be accommodating, slow and self-sufficient. The components of the fourth factor are: anxiety - carelessness, tension - relaxation, depression - emotional comfort, self-criticism - self-sufficiency, emotional lability - emotional stability.

The fifth factor is presented as “PLAYFUL”. Its essence is a game that allows a person to smoothly “transition” from the real world to the unreal one, perceive unusual images, thoughts, feelings, symbolism of art and freely enjoy them. On the other hand, “PRACTICALITY” is a trait that manifests itself in a personality in a tendency to correspond to reality, which in its extreme manifestations leads to conformism, cruelty and authoritarianism. The primary components of this factor are: curiosity - conservatism, daydreaming - realism, artistry - unartistic, sensitivity - low sensitivity, plasticity - rigidity.

The "Big Five" is currently widely used by both foreign and domestic psychologists. There are two versions of the questionnaire in Russian. The first was adapted by V.E. Orl, A.A. Rukavishnikov and I.G. Senin.

The second is a translation and adaptation of the Japanese version of the Big Five (5PFQ); adaptation was performed by Associate Professor of Kurgan State University A. B. Khromov (http://osp.kgsu.ru/hromov.htm). It is this version of the five-factor personality questionnaire that is presented on the site.

Five Factor Model of Personality, also known as the "Big Five" (Big Five) - a psychological model that describes the structure of a person's personality through five common, relatively independent features (dispositions):

  • « neuroticism» (neuroticism, N)
  • « extraversion» (extraversion, E)
  • « openness to experience» (openness to experience, O)
  • « consent/goodwill» (agreedness, A)
  • « conscientiousness/conscientiousness» (conscientiousness, C)

Currently, the five-factor model is the most widely used in the psychological research of English-speaking countries: by 2009, the citation frequency of the "big five" exceeded the use of the Eysenck and Cattell models combined by more than 50 times.

Unfortunately, most of the psychological tools that use the Big Five model are either commercial methods and are not freely available or have not been translated into Russian. At the moment, the only test available for passing is the Russian-language adaptation of A. B. Khromov of the Japanese adaptation 5PFQ.

Instruction

Read the paired statements and decide which of the two alternative statements suits you best. If the statement written to the left of the rating scale is suitable, then use the value "-2" or "-1" to evaluate this statement. If the right statement suits you, then it is evaluated by the values ​​\u200b\u200bof "2" or "1". The values ​​"-2" or "2" are chosen if the evaluated statement is expressed strongly. If this statement is expressed weakly (weaker), then the value "-1" or "1" is chosen. In the case when none of the alternatives suits you, but something in between suits, then the value "0" is selected.

The selected value is recorded in the answer sheet in the right cell.

The five-factor personality questionnaire or Big five test was developed by American psychologists R. McCrae and P. Costa in 1983-1985. Later, the methodology was refined and in its final form it was presented by the NEO-personality questionnaire or NEO-PI-R (from the English. Neuroticism, extraversion, openness - a personality questionnaire). The authors of the questionnaire, R. McCrae and P. Costa, are convinced that the identified five independent variables, more precisely, personality factors of temperament and character (neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, cooperation, conscientiousness) are sufficient for an objective description of a psychological portrait - a model of personality.

In this way, big five model(Big five) - dispositional (from the English disposition - predisposition) model of a person's personality (see Fig. 1 Big Five Model)

A five-factor test questionnaire consists of 75 paired, opposite in meaning, stimulus statements that characterize human behavior. The stimulus material has a five-point rating scale (-2; -1; 0; 1; 2) for diagnosing the severity of each of the five factors:

1. extraversion - introversion;

2. attachment - isolation;

3. self-control - impulsiveness;

4. emotional instability - emotional stability;

5. expressiveness - practicality.

At present, the Big Five test questionnaire has become popular and has acquired great practical importance both abroad and in Russia. The 5PFQ technique was adapted by A. B. Khromov in 1999.

PROFESSIONALLY SIGNIFICANT QUALITIES.

In psychology, it is customary to study and take into account the different qualities of a person - such characteristics of the human psyche that are formed and manifested in communication. From the first days of our lives, we are included in the interaction with the people around us. And the experience that we accumulate in communication gradually becomes a part of ourselves, forming an “alloy” with those qualities that we have inherited. It cannot be clearly said that some of our psychological qualities are innate, and some others are acquired in communication. Any of them is an inseparable unity of one and the other, the result of the influence of both heredity and upbringing. But some qualities are still more dependent on the upbringing and life experience of a person, while others are for the most part determined by heredity (for example, abilities or temperament).

What are “personal qualities” and how many are there in total? In the spoken language, there are about four and a half thousand words used by people to characterize personal qualities.

Big Five (psychology)

If we generalize synonyms and exclude very rarely used words, then the number of corresponding concepts will be approximately 200. Approximately so many qualities are actually used by people to characterize each other's personality.

Meanwhile, in modern psychology, there are five main personality characteristics, the existence of which is revealed on the basis of summarizing the results of many studies. This is the so-called "big five" personality traits. The following method allows you to determine the degree of their severity.

Big Five Model

Another attempt to create a factor theory of personality was created in the late 80s. within the framework of the so-called. "lexical model", continuing the research of G. Allport, R.B. Cattell, L. Thurstone; The authors are American psychologists Paul Costa and Robert McCrae. The main idea of ​​this approach is that all significant psychological and behavioral differences are necessarily fixed in the language, which means that it is enough to study everyday and literary expressions related to the human appearance in order to be sure of reflecting the system-forming core of the personality. The limitation of the approach is that it is difficult to determine the relationship between different characteristics without introducing "vertical" and "horizontal" dimensions that set the basis for the hierarchy within the personality system. The model is based on those variables that are most commonly represented in the language; “linguistic personality” is represented as consisting of 5 most stable determinable factors, each of them includes six factors of the second order ( facets). Facets are also personality traits, but less generalized.

The five-factor model is often used to clarify the nature of other psychological phenomena and determine their place in the intrapersonal space - if correlations with facets are high, then it can claim the status of a second-order trait; if correlations with first-order traits are high, this is usually taken as a sign that the phenomenon in question is redundant and can be reduced to the features of a five-factor model.

The postulates of the five-factor theory of personality are as follows.

Five-factor personality questionnaire McCrae - Costa ("Big Five")

All adults can be characterized by a specific combination of personality traits that influence thoughts, feelings, and behavior ( about individuality).

2. The personality traits studied are endogenous basic tendencies. (about the origin).

3. Traits develop in childhood, are finally formed in adulthood and remain unchanged in adapted subjects ( about the development).

4. Traits are organized hierarchically, from narrow and specific to broad, more general dispositions ( about structure).

Listed below are five highlighted features with facets (features of the second order).

E Extraversion
Warmth Heat
Gregariousness Sociability
assertiveness Self confidence
Activity Activity
Excitement seeking Looking for arousal
positive emotions Positive emotions
N Neroticism Neuroticism

C Conscientiousness Conscientiousness
competence Competence
order orderliness
Dutyfulness diligence
Achievement striving Striving for achievement (commitment)
self-discipline self-discipline
Deliberation mindfulness

The poles of the main features of the Big Five.

  • Extraversion (involvement) - sociability, assertiveness or calmness, passivity
  • Goodwill (pleasantness) - kindness, gullibility, warmth or hostility, selfishness, distrust
  • Conscientiousness (reliability) - organization, thoroughness, reliability or carelessness, negligence, unreliability
  • Neuroticism - nervousness, dejection, irritability - emotional stability - relaxation, poise, stability
  • Openness to experience, culture - spontaneity, creativity or narrow-mindedness, mediocrity, narrowness of interests.

To date, the five-factor model, or the Big Five Model (FFM, five factor model), has received its confirmation thanks to psychometric studies; it is the most widely developed, because the identified factors have high convergent validity, manifesting themselves in various approaches.

Criticism of the Five Factor Model: weak predictive power, lack of explanations for human behavior and other phenomena.

Alternative Big Five

Proposed by G. Eysenck's student Marvin Zuckerman. The main idea of ​​the model is to be able to compare the individuality of all biological species, and not just measure people. Zuckerman disagrees that Openness to experience is an essential personality trait, in his view. This trait should be replaced by Impulsive Impression Seeking as a more legitimate phenomenon.

Features of the Alternative Big Five.

Neuroticism-anxiety: measures anxiety, fear, psychasthenia, general emotionality, suppression of aggression. The trait is associated with obsessive indecisiveness, lack of self-confidence, sensitivity to criticism.

Aggression-hostility opposes social desirability, measures aggression, hostility, anger, poor control over desire suppression, low social desirability. Associated with rudeness, thoughtlessness, antisocial behavior, vindictiveness, violent temperament and intolerance.

Impulsive sensation-seeking: Measures low socialization, high psychoticism, impulsiveness, tendency to act rashly, lack of planning, desire for extreme experiences, novelty, volatility, unpredictable situations, and friends.

Sociability: Measures cooperativeness, social attachments, extraversion, love of holidays and parties, interacting with a large number of people, as well as dislike of social isolation.

Activity: measures tenacity, the energy of behavior, is related to the need to remain highly active and the feeling of restlessness when there is nothing to do.

Many researchers are trying to further reduce the number of features in the model. There were attempts to single out a two-factor model (The Big Two) - the main personality traits turned out to be Stability and Plasticity. Many argue that one factor is enough to study the individual characteristics of a person (The Big One, General Factor of Personality (GFP)) studies (J. Philippe Rushton, Paul Irwing, Janek Musek) show that indeed the General Factor of Personality forms the pinnacle of multifactorial theories. The general factor is characterized by a high degree of Emotional stability (the opposite pole of Neuroticism), friendliness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Openness to experience. It is also associated with social desirability, emotionality, motivation, well-being, life satisfaction, and high self-esteem. The opposite pole is often called Oddity (strangeness), it marks the risks of psychological distress. The main personality factor is interpreted as a basic personality disposition that has deep biological - evolutionary, genetic, neurophysiological roots.

Research also often examines isolated personality traits, often related to pathological risks. An example is the composition of three traits unfavorable for personality development - the so-called. The Dark Triad - Machiavellianism, psychotism, narcissism. These traits are associated with the will to power and achievement and provoke all sorts of antisocial behavior. Schizotypal is also distinguished as a separate feature - if it is strongly expressed, they speak of a schizotypal personality (Schizotypal Personality), which, however, develops within the normal range. Schizotypy as a subfeature has features such as Odd beliefs or Magical thinking, Unusual perceptual experiences, Ideas of reference, Excessive social anxiety, paranoid (Paranoid ideation/suspiciousness), Constricted affect, Odd speech, Odd or eccentric behavior.

It is necessary to note the high internal (substantive and methodological) similarity of the discussed models with the special theory of individuality developed in Russian psychological science. At the same time, it is important to realize that trait theories are "intermediate" between typological and idiographic (clinical) approaches to the study of personality.

However, any theory has its limitations, which set the limits of its heuristic possibilities. Therefore, having defined a trait as a situationally stable manifestation, this statement should also be questioned.

Adaptation and standardization of the questionnaire in the internal affairs bodies was carried out at the Department of Psychology, Pedagogy and Organization of Work with Personnel of the Academy of Management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia on a sample of 1250 people (1188 men and 62 women, average age 34 years), consisting of persons of middle and senior commanding staff bodies of internal affairs entering the study.

The results according to the method can be presented both in T-scores and in stalines based on those given in Table. 3.10 descriptive statistics data.

Methodology for the study of the characteristics of thinking (MIOM). The methodology for studying the characteristics of thinking (MIOM, adapted by D.I. Shpachenko, 1984), used to assess the verbal intelligence and analytical and predictive abilities of managers, is an adapted version of R. Amthauer's intelligence structure test (Amthauer Intelligenz-Strukture-Test, I-S-T, 1953). MIOM is designed to measure the level of intellectual development of persons aged 13 to 61 years.

The test consists of nine subtests (Appendix 4), each of which is aimed at measuring different functions of intelligence. In total, the subjects are offered 176 tasks. The test was developed, first of all, as a method for diagnosing the level of general abilities in connection with the problems of professional psychodiagnostics, developing recommendations for choosing a profession, and analyzing professional suitability.

1. Logical selection and general awareness – the study of inductive thinking, a sense of language. The subject's task is to complete the sentence with one of the given words. The number of tasks is 20. The execution time is 6 minutes.

2. Definition of common features – study of the ability to abstract, operate with verbal concepts. The tasks offer five words, four of which are united by a certain semantic connection, and one is superfluous. This word must be highlighted in the answer. The number of tasks is 20. The execution time is 6 minutes.

3. Analogies – analysis of combinatorial abilities. Three words are offered in the tasks, there is a certain connection between the first and the second. After the third word, a dash. Of the five options offered for the task, it is necessary to choose a word that would be associated with the third in the same way as the first two. Number of tasks - 11. Execution time - 7 minutes.

4. Classification assessment of the ability to make judgments and make generalizations. It is necessary to designate two words as the most general concept. The number of tasks is 16. The execution time is 8 minutes. The response score varies from 0 to 2 points depending on the level of generalization.

5. Tasks for the account assessment of the level of development of practical mathematical thinking. Number of tasks - 20. Solution time - 10 minutes.

6. Number series - analysis of inductive thinking, the ability to operate with numbers. In 20 tasks, it is necessary to establish the pattern of the number series and continue it. Run time - 10 minutes.

7. Choice of figures – study of spatial thinking, combinatorial abilities. In the tasks, geometric shapes are divided into parts. When choosing an answer, you should find a figure that corresponds to a figure divided into parts. The number of tasks is 20. The execution time is 7 minutes.

8. Problems with cubes – is also examined as in the 7th subtest. In each of the 20 tasks, a cube is given in a certain position, changed in relation to a number of cubes, indicated by letters. It is necessary to identify a cube with one of their designated letters. The solution time is 10 minutes.

9. Tasks for the ability to concentrate attention and working memory - it is proposed to memorize a table of 25 words in 3 minutes. Then, according to the named initial letter, it is necessary to remember to which class the word starting with this letter belongs. Run time - 6 minutes.

When calculating "raw" marks (except for the 4th subtest), each correct solution is estimated at 1 point. Then the primary scores for each subtest are converted into scale scores. Thus, the structure of intelligence can be characterized by the profile of success in solving individual groups of tasks. The sum of primary scores for all subtests is translated into an integral assessment of intelligence.

When creating the test, R. Amthauer proceeded from the concept that considers the intellect as a specialized substructure in the integral structure of the personality. This construct is understood by him as a structured integrity of mental abilities, manifested in various forms of activity.

The test makes it possible to distinguish in the integral structure of the intellect the characteristics of abilities manifested in various forms of activity. These are speech, counting and mathematical (analytical and prognostic) abilities, spatial thinking and others.

When selecting test tasks, R. Amthauer was guided by two main principles: 1) ensuring the highest possible correlation of each subtest with the overall result; 2) achieving the lowest possible correlation between individual groups of tasks.

This gives grounds for the selective use of variants of this test. The set of subtests used in the professional psychological selection of candidates for training at the Academy of Management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia included, first of all, tasks aimed at assessing the ability for logical thinking as the most informative about the intellectual level of development of the personality of the future leader (subtests Nos. 2,3 and 6 ).

MIOM is used by the centers of psychodiagnostics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, units of psychological support of educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia

Methodology for the analysis of typical management situations (MATUS) designed to assess the severity of managerial thinking (Appendix 5). Implements a subject-activity approach in the psychodiagnostics of professionally important qualities of the head of the Department of Internal Affairs. The methodology simulates the working environment that develops around the head of a particular internal affairs body by sequentially presenting him with various situations encountered in the practice of managing the internal affairs department. The subject, performing a thought experiment, identifies himself with the subject of the action (leader), carries out the development and adoption of a managerial decision corresponding to the situation presented for resolution. At the same time, the study of thinking directly in the simulated activity is based on the reconstruction of the procedural aspects of thinking through the objectification of its subject-content aspects.

An important place in diagnosing activity situations is occupied by the additional motivation of the subjects, which, delving into their usual work environment, intensively reflecting, solve typical operational tasks. At the same time, the stimulus material and the closed list of possible MATUS responses, as elements of the diagnostic system, are an organic unity and are developed taking into account the following specific requirements:

The methodology should determine the qualitative and quantitative characteristics (degree of severity) of the subject's managerial thinking with the appropriate psychometric indicators of the test;

The influence on the result of the study of other individually psychological characteristics (professional knowledge, experience, memory, interests, worldview, culture, and others), except for the diagnosed PVC, should be minimal;

Business situations in the aggregate should reflect the actual processes that are similar to those that arise or, under certain circumstances, may arise in the activities of the Department of Internal Affairs;

In practical situations, various types of leader activity should be presented.

MATUS (full version) contains 10 business situations, each of which has four possible solutions.

The system of objective indicators characterizing managerial thinking was the success (correctness) of solving problems and the time spent (taken into account optionally). The test results are presented on a scale of walls (10 points), which corresponded to the maximum number of correctly solved problems of the methodology.

Basic psychometric characteristics MATUS. The correlation between the results of the two surveys (retest reliability) is 0.92. The high indicator of MATUS retest reliability can be explained by the peculiarity of human memory for better memorization of semantic (activity-oriented) information, since the test subject, according to the testing conditions, was forced to “permeate” the proposed practical situations in order to successfully find their solution.

Comparison of the number of correctly solved MATUS tasks (Ks scale) with the results of subtests 2, 3 and 6 of the methodology for studying the characteristics of thinking, as well as the Ie, Mp, Ct scales of the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) indicates the existence of certain correlations with diagnostic indicators, evaluating individual parameters of the individual's intellectual efficiency (Table 3.11).
