Abstract
The purpose of the study is to substantiate professional psychological tests in the diagnostics of a normal personality. This particular method is important for vocational education. The essence of such verification originated in ancient times and has undergone a number of radical improvements. Currently, there are hundreds of professional psychological tests that, together with the perception of a person, provide a psychologist with a reasonably reliable means for diagnosing a normal personality. Diagnostics of an abnormal personality has distinctive features that are significant for a clinical psychologist and psychiatrist. The content of the article reveals the history of the origin and application of battery tests in various fields of human activity. Virtually, foreign tests can reveal all the psychological qualities, properties and states of the individual. The interesting facts of the creation and development of professional tests in our country are given. Some Soviet and Russian developers had to overcome the biased attitude of bureaucratic structures to the method of psycho-diagnostics. Over time, everything fell into place. Russian professional psychologists have contributed to the development of professional psychological tests of the individual, group, team. Diagnostics in aviation and space psychology, as well as in managerial psychology formed separate branches. Tests of various personality structures, their character and abilities were created taking into account the concepts of researchers. Psycho-diagnostics can be used to form a workable team, establish social and psychological relationships, both horizontally and vertically. The article lifts the veil on the adequacy of the abilities and capabilities of the individual in the choice of profession. Sometimes low or high self-esteem of a person greatly influences their successful implementation in life and professional activity. At the level of society, this brings a certain discomfort and tension. Especially if a person made a mistake in choosing a profession and is out of place.
