As a certain external appearance, each person has his own individual psychological portrait. Even simply in a private conversation, describing someone, the interlocutor will first describe what the person in question looks like, and then give him a characterization, highlighting his main internal qualities. This will be the so-called psychological portrait of the described.
When compiling a list of the main personality traits of an individual, it is necessary to indicate such components as temperament and intellectual development, emotionality and level of self-control, a person’s abilities and orientation, sociability and willpower, the ability to critical self-esteem and the ability to work in a team. All these components make up a psychological portrait.
Such descriptions according to this plan often have to be compiled by students for the literary heroes of the studied works of art, when studying history, when it comes to important personalities on a global scale. Later, it is necessary to compile characteristics for comrades.
A psychological portrait is required primarily for the employer to select employees when hiring. But, given the moment that evaluating yourself adequately and compiling an honest and detailed description for yourself is a rather complicated matter, and ungrateful, to be straightforward, psychologists came up with such an original solution: to make a special test. A psychological portrait after analyzing all the answers of the subject and creates a true and unbiased picture of the person’s internal appearance.
Such tests are held by people who want to bring up a child in a family, people who want to get a job with people, and today it has already been proposed to prepare tests to determine the psychological portrait and assess the personal qualities of workers in the management sphere and the country's leadership. After all, it has been practically proved that no reforms will be able to break the foundations of society and force it to follow a new, progressive path of development if the origins of the problems are hidden in the moral and ethical face of people holding important posts.
And the very first person who has a strong influence on the formation of personality is a school teacher. Therefore, it is the psychological portrait of the teacher that plays the main leading role in what the future of our country will be, our future. I would like to briefly describe what this test is like.
It is a kind of questionnaire in which, after each question, the testee is provided with three possible answers. Basically, the questions are aimed at pedagogical or human qualities, approximately such as “What do you think is most important in upbringing?” Or “What feelings do you feel at the moment when one of the students in the lesson demonstrates deeper knowledge in the subject topic? "
Of course, this test cannot guarantee one hundred percent honesty of answers to the proposed questions. A person who is insincere, far from pedagogy, having a nasty and even evil character, with a twist of his soul, can very well choose such answer options that will help him to present himself in the best possible light.
Psychologists from other countries put more tricky questions into the tests, which need to be answered quickly and without hesitation. Complex and lengthy research in this area allows us to make a judgment about a person based on his preferences and habits, which, at first glance, have nothing to do with the profession of a teacher . For example, the question of your favorite color or season, the choice of a toy as a gift to a relative - toddler and an unfamiliar child in an orphanage, about the attitude towards animals - domestic and wild. To prepare the “correct” answers to the questions of this test is a rather difficult task, since the bulk of people are unfamiliar with the psychological research of scientists. But the picture after it is presented to the employer is quite transparent.
