The most important points that affect the success and duration of the work of the client and his psychologist are not only the skills of a specialist in the first minutes of communication and acquaintance to determine the type, character traits of the visitor, but also the ability to quickly and accurately draw up a psychological portrait of a person. This will help to establish contacts with clients, avoid unplanned provocative moments. But most importantly, the psychological portrait of a person allows you to more accurately talk about the habits and inclinations of a person, his possible fears and complexes. It also helps to gain the visitor's trust, to overcome the client's barriers of indecision and stiffness.
How to make a quick and high-quality psychological portrait of a person?
The psychologist must have this skill. His duties include compiling a psychological portrait of a person whom he sees for the first time and knows absolutely nothing about her. However, in daily practice, this skill will not be superfluous for any person. Naturally, it is extremely difficult to “draw” a fairly accurate portrait in a matter of minutes, especially at first sight. Therefore, it is recommended to observe a person for some time, to find out some specific necessary initial data and details.
Psychological picture personality and classification of its details
For convenience, all moments of observation of a person can be sorted into groups according to the principles of significance, brightness of perception of the object of observation by the observer. This classification is very convenient. The first group includes age, gender, posture and physique. The second includes the general appearance(style of clothing, accessories, details of the image and neatness). In the third, facial expressions, gait, gestures and manner of speaking can be distinguished. And finally, fourthly, large group, distinguish the following features and characteristics:
The shape and features of the face, lips, gaze and eyes;
Separate sexual characteristics and their characteristics (for example, the absence or presence of hair on open areas body);
Arms and hands (joints, shape, skin covering, movements).
Psychological portrait of a personality and its characteristics
After considering the features of appearance in detail, the first three points can immediately determine the type of character to which they are inherent. And you can immediately begin to draw a socio-psychological portrait of a person and identify typical moments. For example, lowered shoulders, a fat build, a cautious gait, black and gray colors in clothes, lack of gestures and reticence, pronounced wrinkles at the corners of the lips and on the bridge of the nose - all this suggests that this person is a melancholic. But the fourth group will already talk about more hidden character traits. For example, pursed lips, a sullen look, deep-set eyes indicate that the psychological portrait of a person will contain information about the presence of phobias and fears in such a person. As seen from simple examples, this technique determining the type of character and temperament is not so difficult, but very useful. To master it, only attentiveness, a penchant for analysis and practice are needed.
Knowledge about what psychological portrait of a person, his personality, plays important role in choosing a profession; business partner and, importantly, in a harmonious, compatible married life and raising children.
Greetings to all who read the psychological articles of the psychoanalyst Oleg Matveev, I wish you mental health.
Profession and psychological portrait of a person's personality
When choosing a profession (test for schoolchildren), it should be borne in mind that people adapt to living conditions in different ways.In psychological portraits of personalities, three types of people are distinguished:
1. - with a focus on this moment and easy adaptation to the environment. These people are better at making decisions.
2. - with a focus on the past, able to act within the framework of permissions and prohibitions, rights and obligations. This type better implements these solutions.
3. - with a focus on the future, with inadequate situational behavior, poorly adapted to the vertical of power in the team. People of this type are better realized as a generator of ideas.
Composing psychological portrait of a person's personality, you need to learn to know yourself and other people, to identify temperament, character, personality orientation, attitude to activity and life, to goals and life situations, expected emotional behavior in stressful situations and interpersonal relationships, business qualities.
(change of character)
Individuality of a person in the psychological portrait of a person:
Each person is an individuality, in each individuality the basic and programming properties of the personality are distinguished.
The basic ones are: temperament, character, abilities. Through them, emotionality, the pace of reactions, dynamism, sensitivity, and activity are revealed.
To programmers- orientation, intelligence, self-awareness.
Based on the properties of individuality, a psychological portrait of a person’s personality is compiled.
What is the psychological portrait of a person's personality?
1. TemperamentWatching other people, how they work, study, communicate, experience joys and sorrows, we undoubtedly pay attention to the differences in their behavior.
Some are fast, impetuous, mobile, prone to violent emotional reactions, others are slow, calm, imperturbable, with imperceptibly expressed feelings etc. The reason for such differences lies in the temperament of a person inherent in him from birth.
PSYCHOLOGICAL HELP
I wish you all psychological well-being!
Using various techniques you can make a psychological portrait of a person's personality, even without knowing him. Such personality portraits are often used when applying for a job, even in marriage agencies for matching a couple. You can use various methods, I chose the most popular tests that guarantee high validity: 16 factor questionnaire Kettela, Mehrabian's motivational questionnaire, Eysenck's personal qualities questionnaire, etc.
Usually researched: personal sphere- character traits, communicative sphere, intellectual. Inclinations to this or that activity, types of motivation, etc. are analyzed. Based on the data obtained, it is possible to draw a general conclusion about a person and give certain recommendations. In fairness, it must be said that several areas can be tested, and usually, the psychologist chooses those areas that are relevant to the subject. To determine certain qualities of character, there are certain tests, methods that consist of a large number questions and / or tasks, for example, you can test on the scales of creativity, self-esteem, neuroticism, and so on.
Also, to make a psychological portrait of a person, you can use more simplified methods, for example, a typology test personalities DISC or socionics. These tests can be completed online and get an immediate answer - what type of personality do you correspond to. It is fast, easy, but not always accurate and there are not many evaluation criteria.
The advantage of highly valid methods is, of course, the reliability of the data. Chief negative moment is the complexity of processing responses. ( See an example at the end of the article Five-factor questionnaire personality.)
Therefore, such assessment techniques are used for clinical purposes, or to justify scientific works, or to obtain highly accurate results, when hiring in some departments. The results are processed by a professional, usually an hr or a psychologist.
If you want to test yourself or your friends on your own, then it is better to use more simple techniques, which I have already mentioned (DISC, socionics).

How to write a psychological portrait of a person? Examples on this topic are quite diverse, but before providing them, it should be remembered that each person has a certain choleric, sanguine, melancholic and phlegmatic. It has been proven that in pure form belonging to one species or another nervous activity is rare. Most often, one individual combines a set of personal qualities that can be adjusted.
However, the basis of temperament remains constant value. How can this be tracked in practice? Before assessing the psychological portrait of a person, an example of writing should be focused on how a person navigates in society. One goes through life without deviating from clear rules, the other, on the contrary, is creative and resorts to innovative methods.
Psychologists are unanimous in their opinion that one should begin with a description of temperament. Without this, it is impossible to make a psychological portrait of a person. A sample of any characteristic displays first of all the type nervous system.
Sanguine and choleric
Each type of temperament is distinguished by its own peculiarity, therefore, each personality requires individual approach. Sanguine people - owners of a strong nervous system and easily survive the change mental processes: their excitation is quickly replaced by inhibition and vice versa. Because of this, they tend to not always fulfill the promises and need to be controlled.
But their positive features usually outweigh the negative ones. Such individuals are endowed with sociability, sociability and optimism. In most cases, sanguine people are leaders and often occupy leadership positions in social life.
Cholerics are known for their unbalanced nervous system. The process of excitation in them prevails over inhibition. Cholerics feel the need to be busy all the time. They, like sanguine people, strive for leadership, but are often too assertive and quick-tempered.
Therefore, people around often find choleric people aggressive and conflicted. However, their vigor and purposefulness can only be envied. They are recommended to realize themselves in society as military, rescuers, doctors.
Phlegmatic and melancholic
In the course of research, scientists came to the conclusion that phlegmatic people are endowed with a strong type of nervous system. But, unlike sanguine people, these individuals are inert. They take a long time to make a decision and slowly assess their strength.
It is important not to push the phlegmatic, otherwise they will be very annoyed and may quit the job they have begun. Many believe that these personalities often tend to succumb dark thoughts. But in fact, they rarely get depressed. Their positive features are constancy, reliability and thoroughness.
Melancholic - owners of the weak unbalanced type nervous system.
They are very sensitive and tend to get upset when pressured and given harsh instructions. Due to their softness, melancholics often cannot resist the dictator and withdraw into themselves.
This eloquently reflects their psychological portrait of personality. An example in psychology shows that it is important for such individuals to master professions related to communication and caring for others. After all distinctive features melancholic is the ability to empathize and show mercy.
Psychological portrait of a person. Writing example
Perhaps many readers will think: "Is the personality characteristic so important today?" In fact social life requires the individual to realize. Moreover, it is important that the activity is not only useful and well paid, but also brings moral satisfaction to a person.
Platonov's method is able to help a modern employer competently involve each member of the team in the process of activity. For example, the scientist emphasizes that the phlegmatic works best with the melancholic, the choleric with the sanguine. In addition, Platonov singled out from the structure of a person's character important points:
- In this case, diligence, responsibility, initiative of a person are evaluated. Main question in whether he realizes his potential, given to him by nature, or not.
- Attitude towards others. It is known that manufacturing process is involved in relationships, and how harmonious they are depends on the coherence of work and final result. Therefore, it is estimated how responsive, respectful and flexible an individual is in society.
- Attitude towards oneself. Today, the motto "love yourself" does not lose its relevance. After all, a person who cares about his appearance, healthy way life, not only causes pleasant emotions, but is also able to attract positive events to itself. That is why the beginner is advised to pay attention to his appearance when he is going to the interview.
Characteristic example
Based on the foregoing, we can conclude: everyone is able to make a psychological portrait of a person. An example of writing about yourself might look like this: “The basis of my temperament is melancholic. I am moderately hardworking and responsible. Minus - suspiciousness, which prevents me from achieving success. I act according to my natural potential and is able to build self-confidence through psychological trainings. Relationships in the team do not always work out well. I am friendly, but shy, hardly defend my opinion. I am quite picky about myself, I doubt many things, I have several bad habits but I'm trying to get rid of them.
This method helps the individual overcome psychological barriers, correct your behavior and change a lot in your life for the better. The leader, in turn, often focuses on the psychological portrait of the individual. The writing pattern is usually freeform, but there are large companies that provide a service pattern.
How does the Platonov method work in psychology?
In fact, the described method is successfully applied in the field of psychiatry and psychology. After all, before helping a person in solving his problem, a specialist characterizes his personal qualities.
So, how to write a psychological portrait of a person? The examples of this are quite varied. One of them implies, in addition to describing the type of temperament, also the definition emotional side human nature. For example, experts consider 4 types of emotions: demonstrative, pedantic, stuck, excitable.
The demonstrative type is distinguished by its emotionality. Such people violently express their emotions and often "play for the audience." But thanks to their artistry, they are able to understand the interlocutor well. Therefore, if a representative of a demonstrative type turned to a specialist for help with a request to help him decide on a profession, then the most successful recommendation for him is to choose a public activity. Or you can learn a specialty
Pedantic type personality is prone to indecision and constant feeling fear. He is characterized by hesitations and doubts. However - punctuality, prudence and accuracy - are taken as a basis by a specialist and help to offer this type certain method resolution of the situation.
Two difficult types
Are there any difficulties when a psychological portrait of a person is drawn up? An example of writing according to Platonov shows: yes, this happens. For example, there are 2 types of personality: stuck and excitable. At first glance, they are similar.
And some individuals are able to intertwine in character. But a professional in his field is still able to figure it out. For example, stuck-type personalities differ in that they are able to for a long time do not show your negative emotions. “Revenge is a dish served cold” is an expression that perfectly fits the description of their condition. Such individuals are touchy, vindictive. First of all, they are offered programs to get rid of old grievances.
Excitable personality type is manifested in constant discontent and irritability. These negative phenomena lead to the fact that the individual is in conflict with the outside world and with himself. What leads to such a state? The psychologist carefully works with the applicant, trying to collect all the details bit by bit life events, given his temperament, genetic characteristics, social conditions and circle of acquaintances.
Platonov's method in society
Palatonov's method is used in various creative shows, politics, and science. Indeed, in this activity, first of all, a psychological portrait is important. famous person, as well as ordinary person, it is impossible to avoid such a characteristic. In this case, the scientist Platonov proposes to consider the intellectuality and orientation of a person.
That is, does he have a certain talent and will be able to realize it, based on willpower? In addition, experts take into account the ability of a person to manage their emotions and control moods and feelings.
Self-esteem - the basis of the characteristic
Experts pay special attention to the self-esteem of the individual. many kinds social activities make a special emphasis on this when they make up a psychological portrait of a person. Writing example: “Korolev Ivan Stepanovich has high mathematical ability but low self-esteem. Can he manage the team? Currently, no."
This is not the whole list of issues that Konstantin Platonov touches upon in his writings. The description of a person's personal qualities depends on the circumstances and the field of activity that requests them. As a rule, the psychological portrait is individual and may be confidential.
There are sometimes "tests" on the Internet that give a misleading idea of a person's personality ("click on 5 pictures and get the result"). Of course, this is a pseudo-result that will not tell you anything, because drawing up a psychological portrait is work, and work is long, really interesting and fruitful. A psychological portrait will immediately clarify a lot in a person (even if you make it about yourself).
Therefore, if you want to draw up your psychological portrait, then I offer you such a guide from a series of questions below. You can make both your own psychological portrait and the psychological portrait of another person who is of interest to you. All you need for this is an hour or a half time, a few sheets of paper and a pen. If you want your psychological portrait to be subsequently analyzed by a psychologist, then I recommend that you immediately write down the answers in text file on a computer, then you can send them to me (keep in mind that the analysis of the psychological portrait will already cost you money).
I am asking you questions in an impersonal form and in the third person ("what does the person believe?"). If you are writing about yourself, then simply address these questions to yourself, for example: “What do I believe in?” Answer the questions only honestly and thoughtfully.
So let's get started!
Psychological picture:
1) Temperament, in proportion (sanguine, phlegmatic, melancholic, choleric)
2) Picture of the world. How a person sees the world, sees people, sees himself and his role in the world. What does the person believe? What are the beliefs and principles? What are the prejudices and doubts?
3) The archetype of personality. Identification. With whom does a person associate himself, to whom does he consider himself, who would he like to be (or appear)? (Hint.

Break down the hierarchy of values from top to bottom (in the form of a triangle, i.e., a “pyramid of values”) into 5-10 levels of importance, what will now be in the top positions for this person? At the same time, you can make a list of the 10 most significant people in your life, but it is a parallel task.
8) What kind of person is he really and how does he want to appear in society? How big is the gap?
9) Basic intrapersonal conflicts person. Complexes. Psychological pain points. Where, how, under what circumstances do these intrapersonal conflicts manifest themselves? Why?

12) What goals are relevant? What are secondary? Are the true goals from those declared? What are the usual ways to achieve goals? novelty and conservatism. How does a person perceive new information, how quickly does he implement it into his activities, how ready and open is he to any changes?
13) Speed (speed) of psychological metabolism. How does a person experience emotions (intensely, slowly, quickly, weakly, etc.) Dominant channel of perception of information on psychological metabolism: kinesthetic, auditory, visual, digital? On a scale from 1 to 10.

Note. If you write your psychological portrait, then, as I hope, you will be objective. When writing a psychological portrait of another person, also try to be objective, because many assessments may turn out to be subjective. For example, under item 18, when you describe a person's personality through synonomic row, situational confusion may arise: you can define a person as indifferent (although he is now indifferent to you personally), and he himself is a very passionate person (or he is passionate about someone or something else), if you in a quarrel, then you can subjectively incorrectly attribute to this person anger, emotional dullness, or some negative qualities which are not characteristic of him. Be not subjective, be as objective and honest as possible in your assessments.
By making a psychological portrait (of yourself or another person), you can discover many interesting things and find answers to many questions that bother you. If you want to order a detailed analysis of the psychological portrait from me personally, then this service will cost you 50 euros, I will analyze the psychological portrait you have compiled in one psychological session.
