Description

METHOD FOR DETERMINING A PSYCHOLOGICAL TYPE OF HUMAN

The invention relates to the field of psychophysiology, psychology, sociology, pedagogy, medicine and can be used in individual and mass research to determine the psychological type of personality in the field of psychophysiology, psychology, sociology, pedagogy, medicine, professional selection and career guidance.

In the sciences of man there is no single, unifying theory of personality. In academic psychology, many theories of personality are known, a large number of typologies have been developed, and, accordingly, many ways of determining the psychological type of personality. But basically these methods are carried out on the basis of questionnaires, where the subject is required to answer a certain number of questions, and the answers themselves are the basis for subsequent conclusions regarding his psychological type. For example, two methods are known for determining the psychological type of personality using questionnaires: an Isabel Briggs Myers type indicator (abbreviated as MBTI, in the original, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, 1943) [1] and a David Caircy questionnaire (Caircy Questionnaire, 1956) [2] developed by the authors to identify 16 psychological personality types.

The disadvantages of these methods:

1 - since questionnaires are used where the researcher answers the questions himself, he may be mistaken in understanding the questions asked, arbitrarily change his answers in accordance with their social desirability, and thereby, consciously or not, distort the answers, which negatively affects objectivity the results obtained;

2 - to use the questionnaires, it is necessary to carry out their preliminary adaptation (correction of the wording of the questions) depending on age, language of communication, religion, social group;

3 - the undesirability of using questionnaires in childhood and adolescence (under 16 years old);

4 - questionnaires require a sufficiently long time for the implementation of the testing process, processing and presentation of the results. The Myers Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Kearsey Questionnaire have the following drawbacks that are common to any quiz test.

It should be noted that the concept of “psychological type” and its deep meaning were considered in detail by Carl Gustav Jung in the fundamental work “Psychological type”, published in 1921 [3]. As you know, K.G. Jung suggested distinguishing people depending on the severity of each of the four basic mental functions (sensation, intuition, thinking, feeling) in the context of their extra- and introversion. Below is a brief list of keywords that reveal the contents of mental functions, as presented by the authors of the translation and adaptation of the Keirsi Questionnaire (book: B.V. Ovchinnikov, I.M. Vladimirimova, K.V. Pavlov. Types of temperament in practical psychology. Speech St. Petersburg, 2003).

Sensation: experience, past, realism, practicality, obvious common sense. Intuition: premonitions, future, speculation, contemplation, ingenuity.

Thinking: expediency, consistency, laws, analysis.

Feeling: social values, assessments of society, justifying circumstances, humanity, sympathy, synthesis.

Judiciousness: decision making, fixed decisions, planning, execution on time, reliance on intermediate goals.

Impulsivity: data collection and accumulation, mobility, lability of decisions, situational flexibility, spontaneity of life.

Extroversion: sociability, socialization, interaction, breadth (of views, interests), radiation of energy, interest in external events.

Introversion: isolation, a sense of one's own territory, introspection, isolation, depth, solidity, energy conservation, interest in internal reactions.

Based on the typology of C.G. Jung, American researchers C. Briggs and I. Myers developed original questionnaires to identify 16 different psychological types (hereinafter referred to as the psychological type according to Jung, Myers, Caircy). For more than half a century, the Myers type indicator (MBTI) has been helping people to understand themselves, to understand their inclinations and abilities, to build personal relationships, and to professionals to help people choose their profession and social adaptation [1]. Based on theory C. Jung researcher D. Keyrsi developed his original version of the questionnaire to determine four types of temperament, and each of them has four psychological types [2]. Instead of naming 16 personality types, I. Myers and D. Keyrsi often designate types by combinations of English letters selected from four pairs of opposites: E or I, S or N, T or F, J or P. These letters denote the following concepts: E-extroversion (Extroversion), Ι-introversion (Introversion); S-sensation (Sensing), Ν-intuition (iNtuition); T-thinking (Thinking), F-feeling (Feeling); J-judgment (Judging), P-impulsivity (Perceiving).

The generally accepted names and letter codes of 16 psychological types defined by the questionnaires by I. Myers and D. Keyrsi are reflected in table 1 [11] (book: II Karnaukh, V. M. Tanaev. Practical psychology of management. Publ. in Phoenix, Rostov-on-Don, 2010). The method for determining psychological types described in this book is accepted by the authors as a prototype.

Table 1

In accordance with the typology developed by I. Myers and D. Keyrsi, a complete list of psychological personality types in letter codes looks like this: ESTP, ISTP, ESFP, ISFP, ESTJ, ISTJ, ESFJ, ISFJ, ENFJ, INFJ, ENFP, INFP, ENTJ , INTJ, ENTP, ΓΝΤΡ.

For example, Table 1 illustrates the well-known International Standard for Personnel Management in the Asia-Pacific Region (Association for Psychological Tours), where letter codes of all 16 psychological types are presented.

The theory of K.G. Jung about psychological types was initially speculative, in turn, tests-questionnaires of his followers: Myers type indicator (MBTI) and The Kearsey questionnaire was created empirically, which could not provide due objectivity in determining psychological types. Note that the typologies of I. Myers and D. Keyrsi are close in meaning and content, and the existing methodological differences are explained by some details of understanding the role of mental functions in the formation of psychological types.

The method of determining the psychological type of personality declared by the author was formed in accordance with the main provisions of domestic schools of differential psychophysiology, where the study of individual and typical characteristics of a person is a priority. These scientific schools differ from those areas in psychology, which are mainly engaged in the study of differences in the manifestation of personal properties, tearing them away from the physiological basis. From the point of view of psychophysiology, it is important to know not only the severity of a particular personality trait, but also the reason for this, in particular, what is the role of genetic and congenital (biological) factors, on the one hand, and social factors (education, development), on the other . This must be taken into account when predicting a person’s abilities and capabilities on the basis of his natural inclinations, which include typological features of the manifestation of the properties of the nervous system (hereinafter - SNA). In addition, it cannot be concluded that a person has one or another typological feature of the manifestation of the SNA in terms of behavioral characteristics and activity efficiency, where the latter can be achieved through knowledge and skills, on the one hand, and due to different makings, including different typological features, on the other.

Currently, two methods for measuring the SNA (strength, mobility, balance) of a person are most known and used in scientific research, in accordance with the teachings of IP Pavlov on the types of higher nervous activity [4]. The first method was developed by B. M. Teplov and V. D. Nebylitsyn in the 50s of the last century, where SNA was determined based on data on the electrical activity of the human brain [5]. An alternative method for determining SNA based on motor express techniques was proposed in 1972 by E.P. Ilyin [6]. Ilyin’s motor techniques have several advantages over other methods of determining the SNA:

1) relatively easy to use, do not require much time for examination (no more than 10-15 minutes per test subject);

2) on one toolkit, all the required characteristics are determined, while other methods allow only one of the properties to be determined; 3) do not require special knowledge, skills and experience from the subjects, which implies a wide age range of subjects (over 6 years old);

4) high reliability, repeatability of the survey results is confirmed by many years of scientific research and the practice of using motor express methods.

Under the concept of “properties of the nervous system”, as measured by the express motor techniques of EP Ilyin, the following properties are meant:

- the strength of the nervous system as the ability of nerve cells to withstand the effects of a strong stimulus, without going into a state of transcendent inhibition;

- mobility of the processes of excitation and inhibition, which are characterized by the rate of disappearance of one process and its change by another (high speed corresponds to mobility, low - inertia of nervous processes);

- balance of nervous processes, where the “external” and “internal” balances are distinguished, as the ratio of the processes of excitation and inhibition in magnitude.

Measurement of the properties of the nervous system by express motor techniques

EP Ilyina is carried out in three stages [6]:

At the first stage, a technique is used to determine the mobility of the processes of excitation and inhibition. A graphical version of this technique is used - using a conventional pencil or a displacement sensor, the testee draws (with his eyes closed) straight lines in accordance with the algorithm of commands voiced by the tester. The motion algorithm involves changing tasks to increase or decrease the drawn lines relative to the standard chosen by the subject. At this stage, it is revealed how the previous nervous process, for example, the excitatory one, affects the development of the subsequent inhibitory process, and vice versa.

At the second stage, methods are used to determine the balance of nervous processes as a ratio of the processes of excitation and inhibition by their magnitude. The indicators of two types of balance are measured: the “external”, which, by definition, reflects the reaction to the emotionally motivational aspects of the situation, and the “internal” balance - the energy aspect of the response. The step for measuring the "external" balance involves the subject (with eyes closed) performing, for example, drawing the specified segments five times with subsequent attempts to accurately reproduce them. Short (15-25 mm) and long segments (50-70 mm) are set. If the subject has excesses on both short and long sections, then the diagnosis is “predominance of excitement”. If everywhere understatement, then inhibition prevails. In cases where in small segments - excesses, and in long ones - their understatement, this indicates the balance of unequal processes. A special procedure for determining the typological features of the manifestation of the "internal" balance is not required. The data obtained during the test for the mobility of nervous processes in that part where the following commands are executed with closed eyes are also used: draw a line, then lengthen it a little; choose a new line, shorten it a little. And so several times in short and long sections, after which the sums of excesses and understates in short and long sections are compared. If in both short and long segments the sum of excesses is greater than the sum of understatements, then excitation prevails, if on the contrary, inhibition prevails. When excesses dominate in short segments, and underestimations dominate in long sections, then there is a balance of nervous processes in terms of “internal” balance.

At the third stage, the strength of the nervous system is determined using the tapping test, where on a special device that simulates the operation of the telegraph key, temporary changes in the maximum rate of movements (movements) by the brush of the leading hand are tracked. The testees, in accordance with the instructions, try to maintain the maximum tempo for themselves for 30 seconds, the indicators of which are recorded every 5 seconds, and a curve of changes in this rate of movements of the wrist is built on the 6 received points. The resulting types of curves are qualitative criteria for the severity of the strength of the nervous system. The main point of the tapping test is to obtain the effect of outrageous inhibition: in a weak nervous system, the effect manifests itself earlier, in a strong - later.

For greater clarity and brevity of the subsequent presentation, it seems convenient to introduce and operate with the concept of "neuro-dynamic code". This code, in the form of a five-digit number, symbolically reflects the complex of typological features of the manifestation of all five properties of the human nervous system, diagnosed on the basis of the express motor techniques of E.P. Ilyin. We conventionally accepted that in the "neurodynamic code" the first order number reflects the indicator of the strength of the nervous system, the second and third numbers, respectively, the mobility of the processes of excitation and inhibition, the fourth and fifth numbers characterize the "external" and "internal" balances of nervous processes [ 7].

For a better perception, the order of the SNA in the "neurodynamic code" is reflected in figure 1. Denoting the degree of typological severity of each of the five properties of the nervous system by numbers 1,2,3, we obtain the following series:

1) the strength of the nervous system: 1 - strong, 2 - medium, 3 - weak;

2) excitation processes: 1 - mobile, 2 - average mobility, 3 - inert;

3) inhibition processes: 1 - mobile, 2 - average mobility, 3 - inert;

4) the balance is “external”: 1 - excitation prevails, 2 - balance, 3 - inhibition prevails;

5) the balance is “internal”: 1 - excitation prevails, 2 - balance, 3 - inhibition prevails.

The mathematically possible number of combinations of the SNA, that is, the number of neurodynamic codes in the above system for assessing the degree of typological severity of the five properties of the nervous system, is 243.

For better perception, digital designations of the degree of typological severity of the five SNA in the form of a digital neurodynamic code 11133 are shown in FIG.

Different versions of digital neurodynamic codes can be written as 31 133, 2331 1, 23313, 1 1 133, 33313, etc. For example, code 1 1 133, shown in Figure 2, can be decoded as follows: a strong nervous system (1), mobility of the processes of excitation (1) and inhibition (1), inhibitions prevail in “external” and “internal” balances (combination of balances - 33). Code 33313 reads: a weak nervous system (3), inertia of the processes of excitation (3) and inhibition (3), excitation (1) prevails in the "external" balance, inhibition (3) prevails in the "internal" balance. Note that in the example of decoding the neurodynamic code 11133 in Figure 2, it is assumed that the strong and medium-strong nervous system, as well as the high and medium mobility of the processes of excitation and inhibition, are combined into one group and are indicated by the number 1. The mathematically possible number of combinations of SNA, i.e. the number of neurodynamic codes in the system for assessing the severity of properties presented in Figures 1-3 is 108 variants.

In our studies on rather large samples of subjects, it was shown that all theoretically possible variants of combinations of SNA have a place to be, which indicates a wide variety of psychophysiological types among people [7,8]. It should be noted that from 2001 to the present time, the author of the submitted application has measured the SNA in more than 2,000 students of schools and gymnasiums (grades 1 to 1), their parents in the amount of 2 5 people .; students of a music boarding school - 263 people; students of different faculties of the university - 453 people. In addition, experts from various fields of professional activity were examined: special forces fighters - 21 people .; teachers of schools and gymnasiums - 65 people; educational psychologists - 33; teachers of shelters and orphanages - 37; dentists - 24; dentists - 29 people (total 209 specialists), as well as highly qualified athletes representing 19 sports, in the amount of 435 people. The total sample size for the specified period amounted to at least 3,500 people. The results of these studies are reflected in the relevant scientific publications of the author. We also note that the typological features of the SNA in all the studies of the author were measured on a specially designed instrument complex with software and an electronic device. A general view of the electronic device for measuring the SNA and the practical implementation of the express motor techniques of E.P. Ilyin is shown in Fig.Z.

All methods of instrumental measurement of the SNA known to modern science do not allow determining the psychological type of personality, where the type is characterized in accordance with the theory of K.G. Jung, in the interpretation of I. Myers and D. Keyrsi, although there are many attempts to determine individual properties or the type of temperament of a person. In the 20s of the last century I.P. Pavlov was the first to attempt to objectify the determination of the psychological characteristics of a person, where he distinguished four types of higher nervous activity by strength, mobility, balance of nervous processes and suggested the dependence of four types of temperament (choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic, melancholic ) on the type of central nervous system [4]. But the evidence base for an objective determination of the types of temperament at the time of I.P. Pavlov could not be, since there were no methods and appropriate tools for measuring the properties of the human nervous system. Such evidence has not been established to date for the reasons listed above. Currently, there is no evidence base in the publicly available scientific literature about the relationship between the SNA and psychological types (according to Jung, Myers, Keirsi), which can also be explained by several objective reasons.

On the one hand, unsolved methodological problems in understanding nature

SNA and the possible number of these properties in humans, which gave rise to many methods for measuring the same properties, with conflicting results of their determination [9]. This led to difficulties for the diagnostic findings, their uncertainty, and, in addition to everything, the key problem is the lack of the necessary tools to implement methods for measuring SNA, not only for scientific research, but also in the practical activities of specialists.

On the other hand, to date, there is no single, unifying theory of personality. In academic psychology, there are many theories, and, accordingly, many personality typologies, on the basis of which, to try to solve practical problems, quiz tests have been developed. We noted above the shortcomings of any questionnaires, where the respondents themselves answer questions, and determining their own type depends on their subjective opinion, which inevitably reduces the reliability and objectivity of questionnaires in determining the psychological type of person. A common drawback of all personality typologies is that they are compiled on the basis of contemplation, observation, and speculative conclusions, and not on the basis of scientific experiments, a formal analysis of objective data and generalizations. They lack logical completeness, consistency, formalization and unambiguity; there are no necessary and sufficient signs of a scientific approach.

A number of studies are known by the author of the claimed method in this direction. For example, in order to study the connections of the SNA with the properties of temperament, the author conducted a study where the experimental group was formed by students from different faculties of the Russian State Pedagogical University named after A.I. Herzen, St. Petersburg [8]. The sample of students was 453 people, of which 369 were girls, 84 were young men, the average age was 22.2 years. For the diagnosis of SNA, the express motor methods of E.P. Ilyin were used; to determine the properties of temperament, the Keirsi Questionnaire. According to the results of this study, typological complexes of the SNS were identified, which determine the high severity of mental functions, presented below, where each function corresponds to a specific digital neurodynamic code:

Extraversion (E): weak nervous system, low mobility of the processes of excitation, high mobility of the processes of inhibition, inhibition by “external” and “internal” balances predominates (code - 33133).

Introversion (I): strong nervous system, high mobility of excitation, low mobility of inhibition, excitation by “external” and “internal” balances predominates (neurodynamic code - 11311).

Sensation (S): weak nervous system, high mobility of excitation processes, low mobility of inhibition processes, excitation by "external" and "internal" balances prevails (neurodynamic code - 31311). Intuition (N): strong nervous system, low mobility of excitation processes, high mobility of inhibition processes; braking prevails according to "external" and "internal" balances (code - 13133).

Thinking (T): a strong nervous system, low mobility of the processes of excitation, high mobility of the processes of inhibition, inhibition by the “external” balance prevails; balance on the "internal" balance (the probable code is 13132, which implies a combination of 13131 and 13133).

Feeling (F): weak nervous system, high mobility of excitation processes, low mobility of inhibition processes, balance in the "external" balance, inhibition in the "internal" balance prevails (the probable code of the typological complex is 31323, which suggests combinations 31313 and 31333).

Reasonability (J): strong ns; high or medium mobility of excitation; high braking mobility; excitation by "external" balance prevails; braking by "internal" balance prevails (code - 11113).

Impulsivity (P): weak ns; inertness of excitation and inhibition; braking or poise in "external" prevails; excitation prevails over

"internal" balance (neurodynamic code - 33331).

It should be noted that in four pairs the opposite mental functions: extraversion (E) - introversion (I); sensation (S) - intuition (N); thinking (T) - feeling (F); judiciousness (J) - impulsivity (P), are also characterized by opposite typological complexes of the SNS, therefore, they are also indicated by opposite digital neurodynamic codes.

Known, for example, “A METHOD FOR DETERMINING A PSYCHOLOGICAL TYPE ACCORDING TO ANUASHVILI” according to RF patent N ° 2201131. In the known invention, the dominance of one of the cerebral hemispheres is detected by determining the difference in the amplitudes of the oscillatory processes occurring in the right and left cerebral hemispheres. The degree of coordination of these oscillatory processes is determined by assessing their coherence and the psychological type is determined as: logical stable, if the left hemisphere is dominant and the coordination of oscillatory processes in the hemispheres is high; logical if the left hemisphere is dominant and the coordination of oscillatory processes in the hemispheres is average; logical unstable if the left hemisphere dominates and the coordination of oscillatory processes in the hemispheres is low; intuitive stable, if right dominates hemisphere and consistency of oscillatory processes in the hemispheres is high; intuitive, if the right hemisphere dominates and the coordination of oscillatory processes in the hemispheres is average; intuitive, unstable, if the right hemisphere dominates and the coordination of oscillatory processes in the hemispheres is low; stable, if the dominance of one of the hemispheres is absent and the coordination of oscillatory processes in the hemispheres is high; unstable if the dominance of one of the hemispheres is absent and the coordination of oscillatory processes in the hemispheres is low. The method allows to determine the psychological type of personality based on objective data.

The disadvantages of this method are:

1) The lack of sufficient justification for the solution of the task, since the evidence does not provide evidence of the existence of the psychological types proposed by him, there are no links to the relevant publications of the author, confirming his claim to create his own typology.

Whereas in the claimed method of determining the psychological type, an attempt was made to combine two different, but world-famous scientific approaches to the description of a person - the teachings of I.P. Pavlov on the properties of the nervous system (types of higher nervous activity) and the theory of psychological types by K.G. Jung. 2) According to Anuashvili, the essence of his invention is that the psychological type of a person is judged by the dominance of the cerebral hemispheres and the degree of coherence of the oscillatory processes that occur in them. But in the test of the description of the invention, the author does not provide experimental data on the objectivity of the method, there is no data justifying the possibility of practical implementation of the method proposed by the author on the basis of a device for determining the psychological type according to Anuashvili. The test also does not contain data on the external and internal conditions for conducting a human examination (requirements for the psychophysical state of a person, equipment used, personnel, noise immunity of the room, duration of the examination procedure, etc.). The proposed method for determining the psychological type is carried out on the basis of the well-known motor express methods of E.P. Ilyin, which have obvious advantages, in comparison with what was proposed by A.N. Aunashvili:

- relatively easy to use, do not require much time for examination (no more than 10-15 minutes per test subject);

- on one toolkit, all the required characteristics are determined;

- do not require special knowledge, skills and experience from the examined, which implies a wide age range of subjects (over 6 years old);

high reliability, repeatability of the survey results is confirmed by many years of scientific research and the practice of using motor express techniques.

The objective of the invention is the development of such a method for determining the psychological type (according to Jung, Myers, Kearsey), which could be used in a wide age range, without using questionnaires, but only on the basis of data on the properties of the human nervous system, as measured by motor express methods E.P. .Ilyina.

The technical result of the invention is to increase the reliability and objectivity of the method for determining the psychological type of a person, as well as expanding the possibilities of using the method, since it is applicable for a wide age range, does not require a long examination time, is extremely simple to use, as it is implemented using a personal computer and device for measuring the SNA.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that in the method of determining the psychological type (according to Jung, Myers, Keirsi), it is proposed:

- using the express motor techniques of E.P. Ilyin, measure and determine the severity of the properties of the human nervous system (SNA) - strength, mobility, balance,

- on the basis of measurements of the SNA to form an individual typological complex (TC) of the SNA, the digital neurodynamic code of which is compared with a digital code that displays the composition of the known basic TC of the SNA, identified experimentally and causing a high severity of basic mental functions in opposite pairs: extraversion (E) - introversion ( I); sanity (S) - intuition (N); thinking (T) - feeling (F); rationality (J) - impulsivity (P), where in each of the pairs the function is distinguished, the composition of the TC of the SNA to a greater extent, in comparison with the opposite, coincides with the individual TC of the SNA,

- form an individual letter code reflecting the dominant functions in opposite pairs of basic mental functions,

- determine for a person one of 16 known psychological types (codes - ESTP, ISTP, ESFP, ISFP, ESTJ, ISTJ, ESFJ, ISFJ, ENFJ, INFJ, ENFP, INFP, ENTJ, INTJ, ENTP, INTP), whose code completely matches the individual letter code,

- determine the "brightness" of the psychological type as an indicator of the degree of manifestation in a person of basic mental functions.

The essence of the proposed method is illustrated by the following drawings.

Figure 1 shows the order of the properties of the nervous system in the "neurodynamic code".

Figure 2 presents an example of decoding a digital neurodynamic code 11133. Figure 3 shows an example of the implementation of an instrument complex for measuring SNA by express motor methods of E.P. Il'in.

Where:

1- device (linear resistance is used) for accurate measurement of the spatial extent of the smooth movements of the wrist made by the test subject, in accordance with the specified order of such movements;

2- a device for recording the number of movements (strokes) by a hand made by a test subject at the maximum pace in accordance with the requirements of the “tapping test”.

The proposed method for determining the psychological type of personality (according to Jung, Myers, Keyrsi) based on measuring the human SNA is as follows:

1. The express motor methods of EP Ilyin using special devices (see FIG. 3) measure and determine the severity of the SNA (strength, mobility, balance) of a person, on the basis of which form his individual typological complex (abbreviated. - TC) SNA, which is displayed as a digital neurodynamic code (see Fig. 1 and 2). 2. The composition of the individual TC of the SNA of a person is compared with the compositions of the known basic typological complexes (abbreviated as BTK) of the SNA, identified experimentally and causing a high severity of mental functions in each of the opposite pairs: extraversion (E) - introversion (I); sanity (S) - intuition (N); logicality (T) - feeling (F); rationality (J) - impulsivity (P).

3. In each of the four pairs of mental functions: extraversion (E) - introversion (I); sanity (S) - intuition (N); logicality (T) - feeling (F); rationality (J) - impulsivity (P), those functions are distinguished whose neurodynamic code, in accordance with the composition of the basic TCS of the SNA, is the most similar to the code for the individual TC of the SNA of a person, after which an alphabetic code is established that reflects a certain combination of distinguished mental functions e.g. ESFJ, ISTP, ENTJ, etc.

4. From the list of 16 known letter codes (ESTP, ISTP, ESFP, ISFP, ESTJ, ISTJ, ESFJ, ISFJ, ENFJ, INFJ, ENFP, INFP, ENTJ, INTJ, ENTP, INTP) corresponding to

16 psychological types, distinguish and determine the one that completely coincides with the identified letter code for a person (paragraph 3), reflecting the high severity of each of the four mental functions.

For example, suppose that we measured the expressive properties of the human nervous system by expressive motor methods and determined its individual TC SNA, which is indicated by the digital neurodynamic code 33133.

We know the neurodynamic codes for all mental functions in opposite pairs:

1) extraversion (E) - 33133 and introversion (I) - 11311;

2) sensation (S) - 31311 and intuition (N) - 13133;

3) thinking (T) - 13131 or 13133 and feeling (F) - 31313;

4) prudence (J) - 1 1 113 and impulsiveness (P) - 33331.

Comparing a person’s neurodynamic code (33133) with codes of mental functions, one can see that this person has extraversion (E) in the first pair of opposite functions, its digital code is 33133, therefore, all five digits in the compared codes are the same. Accordingly, there is no coincidence with the code (11311) for introversion (I), this mental function in this person is practically not expressed. Continuing to compare a person’s code with codes in the other three pairs of opposite mental functions, we similarly define dominance: in the second pair, intuition (N) dominates, where four numbers coincided when comparing codes; in the third pair - thinking (T), three numbers coincided; in the fourth pair of functions - impulsivity (P), three digits coincided. As a result of comparing digital codes, the letter code of the functions that dominate the pairs for this person will be ENTP. Comparing the identified individual alphabetic code ENTP with the known codes for 16 psychological types (according to Jung, Myers, Caircy): ESTP, ISTP, ESFP, ISFP, ESTJ, ISTJ, ESFJ, ISFJ, ENFJ, INFJ, ENFP, INFP, ENTJ, INTJ, ENTP, ΓΝΤΡ, we define the psychological type of a person - ENTP. The proposed method allows you to determine the psychological type of a person with any of the possible options for individual TC SNA, that is, with any combination of numbers in five-digit neurodynamic codes.

The Kearsey questionnaire, along with the definition of the psychological type, also suggests establishing its “brightness” as an indicator of the severity of the type. Our proposed method allows you to save this indicator. In the above example, the “brightness” for the identified psychological type of ENTP is defined as the sum of the matching numbers in the compared codes — the neurodynamic code and the digital code of the dominant function in the compared pairs: extraversion (E) —5 digits coincided; intuition (N) - 4; thinking (T) - 3; impulsivity (P) - 3 digits. The desired "brightness" of the psychological type is defined as the sum of the numbers 5,4,3,3, which will give an indicator equal to the number 15. Knowledge of the "brightness" will reveal the differences between people assigned to the same psychological type.

The novelty of the proposed method consists in determining the psychological type without the use of questionnaire tests, in a wide age range, according to objective data on the severity of typological features of the properties of the nervous system, as measured by express motor methods, where the combination of properties forms an individual typological complex of the human SNA, the composition of which is compared with known typological complexes of the SNS, identified experimentally and causing a high severity of mental functions, which is the basis for determining the psychological type of person. Knowledge of the psychological type of a person allows you to use any textual material (training, choice of an educational route, choice of a profession, family relationships, selection and placement of personnel in a professional sphere, psychological compatibility of individuals, etc.) obtained over many years studies conducted by followers of CG Jung’s theory of types, in particular, by American researchers Isabelle Myrs and David Caircy [1-3].

The set of essential features of the invention allows to obtain a new positive result, which consists in increasing the objectivity in determining the psychological type of personality, without the use of questionnaire tests, in significantly expanding the age range of the determined types (from 6 years and older), in reducing the need for application of questionnaire tests in scientific and practical work of specialists.

From our point of view, it is advisable to consider the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Kearsey Questionnaire, as well as any test questionnaires, as tools for studying a person’s self-esteem of their behavioral characteristics, but not for determining the psychological type of personality. It is important to take into account the important fact that a large sample of subjects obtained in the course of many years of research allowed I. Myers and D. Keyrsy to formulate sufficiently voluminous and accurate textual descriptions for each of the 16 psychological types, with details of behavioral characteristics in various areas of social and personal life (school, family, profession, etc.). For example, it is known that 2.5 million people worldwide fill out the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) every year, and thanks to the Caircy Questionnaire, more than 40 million people in 170 countries of the world have already been able to carry out self-assessment of their type [1,2]. But not the fact that such self-esteem allows you to objectively determine the inherent psychological type of a person from the point of view of its natural characteristics. The problem is not in the textual descriptions of personality types developed by I. Myers and D. Keyrsi, but in the shortcomings noted above that accompany the use of any questionnaires, in the absence of an evidence base for their objectivity, and clear criteria for determining types. The founder of the theory of psychological types K.G. Jung, like his followers I. Myers and D. Keyrsi, believed that the psychological type is inherent in a person by the fact of birth, without giving any scientifically based evidence. We determine the psychological type of personality on the basis of an objective assessment of the severity of the human SNA, using instrumental express motor techniques, and the detected properties themselves are genotypic, innate in nature, which, according to I.V. Ravich-Shcherbo, preserves the manifestation of the typological features of the SNA [10 ]. Therefore, the human SNA practically does not change with age, does not depend on the right-left-handedness, as well as on the features vision, hearing, which is very important in the diagnosis of people with disabilities.

To prove the greater objectivity of our innovative way of determining the psychological type of personality, in comparison with the method of D. Ayursi, in November 2014, the author of the application conducted a study (the results were not published). The test subjects were 30 employees of the management team of the ANICS Trading House, which is one of the 10 largest trading companies (retailers) in Russia. After measuring the SNA and identifying individual typological complexes of the SNA, the psychological types of the subjects were determined by the proposed method, which then received for review a text with a detailed description of the alleged behavioral characteristics of their type. The subjects' next task was to insert fragments in the text that did not coincide with their self-esteem of the alleged behavioral characteristics. Data on the fractions of the text with which the subject fully agrees, and which we took as the level of objectivity in determining the psychological type of the subject in an innovative way, are shown in Table 2.

The average level of objectivity of the innovative method is 91.7

definitions of psychological types

Calculations of the fractions of the text (table 2), with the content of which the subjects fully agree, and which are taken as the level of objectivity in determining the psychological type in an innovative way, were carried out as follows:

1) The volume of all textual information is determined (OI1 - the number of characters without spaces) offered to the subject as a forecast of his behavioral characteristics for their self-esteem, in accordance with the psychological type determined on the basis of the innovative method.

2) The number of remaining characters (OI2, without spaces) is determined in the text of the forecast of behavioral characteristics after the subject consciously identified fragments of the text with which he does not agree.

3) The ratio of two volumes of textual information is calculated by the formula, where in the numerator is OI2, in the denominator is OI1, the resulting coefficient is multiplied by 100%.

From table 2 it follows that on average in the sample of subjects, the proportion of text with which they completely agree is 91.7%, which means that the level of objectivity in determining the psychological type in an innovative way is high.

According to the results of the study, presented in table 2, table 3 shows data on the distribution (in%) of the subjects over the intervals of objectivity of determining psychological types determined by an innovative method: 100 - 90, 89 - 80, 79 - 70 and less than 70%.

Note to table 3: the calculations were carried out in accordance with the data in table 2.

From table 3 it follows that the main share of subjects from the entire sample (76.7%) falls in the range from 90 to 100%, which is evidence of the high objectivity of our method of determining psychological types. This begs the question, and what is the objectivity of I. Myers Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Kearsey Questionnaire for determining psychological types? In the fundamental works of these researchers there is a lot of factual material, detailed textual descriptions of the characteristics of psychological types, which is not questioned, but the question of scientifically based criteria of objectivity in determining types based on the Indicator and Questionnaire is not indicated at all [1,2]. From our point of view, there could not have been such criteria initially, since they need to be sought in a different plane, in the field of psychophysiology.

To clarify the question of the reliability of the determination of psychological types on the basis of the Kearsey Questionnaire, the author of the application conducted a study (the results were not published). In the group of university students (sample - 30 people) by the express motor methods of E.P. Ilyin, the SNA was measured, respectively, individual typological complexes of the SNA were detected, and psychological types of subjects were determined on the basis of the innovative method. In addition, the subjects carried out a self-assessment of their behavioral characteristics according to the Keirsi Questionnaire, where, after systematizing the answers, psychological types were determined, which were then compared with types identified in an innovative way. The type matching process was carried out as follows. For example, for four subjects, our method allowed us to determine, respectively, psychological types: ESFJ, INFJ, ISFJ, ESTJ, and according to the Kearsey Questionnaire, self-assessment of these subjects showed that their types, respectively: ESFJ, INFP, ENFJ, ENFP. Then the level of objectivity in determining the psychological types identified by Keyrsi, relative to the innovative method, for these subjects will be, respectively, 100, 75, 50, 25%, where each letter mismatch was assessed as a “loss” of 25% of the maximum level of objectivity, taken as 100 % The results of the study are shown in tables 4 and 5.

The average level of objectivity in determining psychological types of 63.3 based on the Caircy Questionnaire

Table 5

Note to table 5: the calculations were carried out in accordance with the data in table 4.

From table 5 it follows that in almost half of the subjects of the entire sample (46.7%), the level of objectivity in determining their psychological type on the basis of the Kearsey Questionnaire is relatively low 50%, and in 33.3% of the sample this level is also relatively low (75 %). The average level of objectivity in determining psychological types based on the Caircy Questionnaire was 63.3%.

Thus, the results of an experimental study show that the level of objectivity of the innovative method of determining psychological types (91.7%) is significantly higher than the level of objectivity of the Caircy Questionnaire (63.3%). However, it should be recognized that the long-term studies of D. Keyrsi and I. Myers, based on, respectively, the Indicator and the Questionnaire of the behavioral characteristics of people in large samples, allowed the followers of the theory of K.G. Young to identify many important practical observations and formulate sufficiently accurate and voluminous descriptions for each of the 16 psychological types, the characteristics of their behavior in various areas of personal and public life. It seems to us that for further development of the typological approach in the study of man, it is necessary to recognize the limitations of any test questionnaires in determining the psychological types of personality, these are rather tools for studying how a person realizes himself through behavioral characteristics, which he evaluates by answering the questions of the proposed questionnaires.

An example of the results of determining the psychological type.

Above, we examined an example of how the proposed method for determining the psychological type is carried out if, based on express measurements by the motor methods of E.P. Ilyin, a typological complex of properties of the human nervous system is revealed: a weak nervous system, low mobility of excitation processes, high mobility of inhibition processes, inhibition according to the "external" and "internal" balance. In this case, it was shown that the neurodynamic code that digitally reflects the typological complex of the SNA of a given person is 33133. In accordance with the given algorithm for a person with code 33133, the psychological type should be indicated by a combination of the following letters - ENTP. In accordance with the generally accepted type designations (see table 1), this combination of letters has a conditional name: "Innovator" or "Inventor".

As already noted, the proposed method for determining the psychological type of a person is simple and accessible not only in the context of its implementation in practice in a wide age range, but also, based on a computer, allows you to quickly generate and present to the specialist relevant reliable information, which is presented in a fairly large amount in the works of I. B. Myers, D. Keyrsi and other researchers. For example, we give two versions of texts borrowed from the works of domestic experts. Similarly, texts can be presented for all other 15 psychological types indicated by letter codes: ESTP, ISTP, ESFP, ISFP, ESTJ, ISTJ, ESFJ, ISFJ, ENFJ, INFJ, ENFP, INFP, ENTJ, INTJ, INTP.

{Innovator, Inventor)

The psychological type of ENTP uses intuition in inventions, an enthusiast, an innovator, an embodied idea is important, not an idea in itself, a charming conversationalist, initiative in communication, impatient to routine operations, a good teacher, with a sense of humor.

Representatives of this psychological type use their creative abilities in the world of people and things. Extraverted, they rely on their intuition, premonitions and imagination. Good analysts, they like to study complex objects. Usually they show interest in literally everything in the world, are a source of inspiration for others who are captured and carried away by their enthusiasm. They are able to enjoy the mass of things and phenomena, they are easy to please. Being intolerant of routine work; they are constantly looking for new approaches, new projects, new classes, non-standard procedures. They are often trusting and at the same time possess the unique ability to ignore standards, traditions, and authorities. As a result of such a course of action, they bring something new to the work and throughout life itself. Skilled experts in the business sphere, they are capable of realizing a decision. For them, ideas acquire value only when they become materializable and applicable in practice. “This cannot be done” - sounds like a challenge for such a person who immediately answers: “I will do it!”. However, they do not toss mountains. Rather, their value lies in their ability to improvise in an inexhaustible multifaceted approach to solving problems. They are pleasant interlocutors, able to maintain a conversation in a secular form, sometimes apply their art of dispute even against their friends and relatives in the name of a true solution. The most capable of critical assessment of their own views; they love novelty and willingly support rational endeavors, even if put forward by others. Sometimes they can get ahead of events. Sociable and mobile, they represent the ideal of initiative. The slightest push is enough for such a person to plunge into the business with his head, relying on his improvisational abilities. Because of this pronounced property - faith in their own quick wits and business judgment - they can neglect the necessary preparatory actions. After a series of setbacks in situations where improvisation does not help, find workarounds to solving problems. They can successfully work in many fields, where the work is not related to the monotonous execution of routine operations. As soon as the developed project loses its form of a riddle, a challenge, it loses value for them. Conformism is a quality inherent in them, they are happy to accept and use any rules that exist in the system to achieve the goal. They are well versed in domestic politics, the intricacies of relations in the team, in the enterprise and are able to use this understanding. Their insight is aimed more at understanding people than at their assessment. They are ready to introduce something new into the system, if only the system allows it. They are able to show outstanding teaching abilities using non-standard teaching methods that make life easier for students and make learning attractive. In any work, they do not tolerate an established traditional system - they like to challenge traditions. Being subordinate is a difficult fate, such a situation fetters their ability to improvise and innovate. They are true engineers of human relationships and human systems; their pricelessness, keen humor and optimistic worldview are attractive, and people are looking for their society. They are very sociable, and humor does not leave them in everyday life. But a sense of responsibility in performing routine household chores often weighs on them, they would gladly shift such burdens onto the shoulders of others. At times, they behave in such a way that they put their careers in a dangerous position, while maintaining external calm. It may look like a challenge to a higher force. If the leader decides to influence through pressure, they will readily accept this action as a possible solution to the problem. May be affected by a passion for collecting; able to find a lot of pleasure in being an expert in little-studied areas. They are always surrounded by friends whose problems deeply interest them, are rarely critical of others, and are not inclined to grumble and contradict.

SPECIALTIES: Computer Network Developer. Scientist. Inventor. Researcher (theorist). Management style:

Innovator, Inventor (ENTP) - Creator.

It knows how to arouse respect, primarily originality of thinking, the ability to see new things, takes on the solution of problems that may turn out to be unsolvable or risky. The task is set so that it attracts people. Prefers to lead not by a strong-willed administrative way, but by persuasion methods. Relations with employees are built on the basis of voluntary submission on their part, but most often the wishes of such a leader are perceived as an order. He is campaigning for new directions and methods in any business. Routine issues, including monitoring and instruction, fall outside his field of vision. The main thing for him is to find supporters who would take up the practical implementation of the idea that captured the leader, and the lack of control is compensated by the delegation of authority and responsibility. Achieves high production results through the organization of collective work, encourages subordinates to self-analysis. Solves problems in order of importance. He sees promising directions. In practice, this leadership leads to the destruction of old organizational structures and the creation of new, more adapted to changing conditions. Therefore, the described leadership style is not suitable everywhere. It is good, for example, for scientific activity, but in no way suitable for the army. Collaboratively discusses production issues, giving everyone the opportunity to speak. If the opponent’s argumentation seems unconvincing, he will do his best to prove the opposite. Seeks to collaborate with those who share his views. If necessary, adhere to a competing type of behavior. This turns out to be more successful in the field of ideas requiring polemical intensity, less successfully in purely organizational matters. Occasionally, he can get carried away and show an inadequate reaction in the dispute, but quickly calms down if he sees that there is no personal background behind the confrontation. In relationships, seeks to be objective, adheres to the principles of justice.

Key Features:

1. It solves strategic tasks well.

2. The frontal leader.

3. In establishing business contact is based on objective indicators.

4. The form of business activity is focused on the vision of the future and overcoming obstacles to its achievement.

5. Relations with subordinates are built in accordance with the principles of democracy, collegiality and creative initiative.

6. Collaborative type of behavior with elements of a competing type. Stress resistant.

7. Achieves great results due to a good orientation in the potential capabilities of employees. Emotional mood is not significant for him.

8. Adheres to ethical standards, while being able to adapt to different rules of the game.

9. Motives: the motive of prestige is of great importance.

10. Purpose: satisfaction of intellectual needs.

11. Attitude to the law: acts within the framework of the law, which can be interpreted quite widely.

12. Strategy: complete freedom of government, denial of dogma.

13. Type of corporate culture: democratic. Recommendations to the head:

The incentive for the Innovator, Inventor is the desire for uniqueness. Therefore, it is necessary that the task entrusted be interesting and enable personal growth and self-development. Even better if it is a search, one-of-a-kind development. Entrusting this kind of work, it is necessary to convince him that only he, with his intelligence, erudition, insight, uniqueness, can do it. After the completion of the case, you must praise the performer in the same vein, note his extraordinary abilities and immediately pick up a new, more interesting work - in the absence of novelty. Otherwise, he quickly "sour." If he didn’t finish something, didn’t do it as planned, or didn’t do it (often it’s a specific, routine part of the work), it’s best to turn a blind eye to this and assign a finishing touch to another specialist. It’s good if someone takes care of both the arrangement of their workplace and the state of their health. This will relieve him of excessive excitement and tension. Mild humor, banter, unobtrusive questions that will draw his attention to himself can intensify his performance.

Claims

CLAIM

The method of determining the psychological type (according to K.G. Jung, I. B. Meyers, D. Keyrsi), with the fact that with the help of the express motor methods of E.P. Il'in measure and determine the severity of the properties of the human nervous system (SNA) - strength, mobility, balance, on the basis of measurements of the SNA form an individual typological complex (TC) of the SNA, the digital neurodynamic code of which is compared with a digital code that displays the composition of the known basic TC of the SNA, identified experimentally and causing high expression s basic mental functions in opposing pairs: extroversion (E) - introversion (I); sanity (S) - intuition (N); thinking (T) - feeling (F); rationality (J) - impulsivity (P), where in each of the pairs the function is distinguished whose composition of the SNA TC to a greater extent, in comparison with the opposite, coincides with the individual TC of the SNA, form an individual letter code reflecting the dominant functions in opposite pairs of base mental functions, determine for a person that of 16 known psychological types (codes - ESTP, ISTP, ESFP, ISFP, ESTJ, ISTJ, ESFJ, ISFJ, ENFJ, INFJ, ENFP, INFP, ENTJ, INTJ, ENTP, INTP), the code of which completely coincides with the individual letter code, determine the "brightness" psychologically of the type as an indicator of the severity of a person basic mental functions.
