Instruction. Each of us has to evaluate others. Naturally, it is not easy to do this objectively, especially when the necessary psychodiagnostic techniques are not at hand. The proposed test will help you find out if you have ability in psychology, the ability to really evaluate people, or you often "sin" in relation to them.

To calculate points and determine your result, use the following "key":


1. "a" - 2, "b" - 4, "c" - 1;

2. "a" - 2, "b" - 1, "c" - 4;

3. "a" - 1, "b" - 2, "c" - 4;

4. "a" - 4, "b" - 1;

5. "a" - 1, "b" - 2;

6. "a" - 4, "b" - 2, "c" - 1;

7. "a" - 2, "6" - 4, "b" -1;

9. "a" - 1, "b" - 4, "c" - 2;

10. "a" - 4, "b" - 2, "c" - 1;


35 or more points- it is very easy for you to form an opinion about a person. You just have to look at someone, and you already know what kind of "bird" he is. In addition, you can immediately give him your opinion, since you are convinced that you were not mistaken. But even if this is so, consider: is it reasonable to tell everyone what you think of him? By doing this, you are unlikely to change anything, but rather cause irritation. Or do you want to show that no one can lead you by the nose? But this is not the smartest way out.


From 26 to 34 points - you know how to objectively assess situations and others. You really have a "nose" for people, and it will not be difficult for you to guess the character of a person. You would be an excellent psychologist. You don't allow yourself to take someone else's opinion on faith. You prefer to see for yourself what the person you are evaluating is like. This is a very good quality for educators and leaders. And if you realize that you were wrong, then do not be afraid to admit it.

16 to 25 points- you, as a rule, are not sure of your opinion, easily accept an outside point of view. Thus, your observation becomes dull and all this in the end can lead to the fact that you will not be able to formulate your own opinion at all. Try to evaluate the other person in your own way at least once.

15 or less points- you are often ready to believe anyone. You are extremely gullible and judge people only by their appearance. When it turns out later that your assessment was completely wrong, you are amazed and upset. You are waiting for mistakes that you make for the same reason - because of the wrong assessment of people.

I do not pretend that with the help of this test it is really possible to understand whether you are a good psychologist or a bad one. But, perhaps, the result will make you think about your understanding of some situations. Before moving on to the test, I would like to draw your attention to the following:

  • The test will not return results until ALL questions are answered.
  • Some (I emphasize: SOME!) Correct answers are not absolute truth, but only reflect the personal opinion of the author of the test, although it is quite reasonable.
  • Answers to MOST questions do not require special knowledge, it is enough just to think logically.
  • So DO NOT TAKE THE RESULT CLOSE TO THE HEART, especially if it is unsatisfactory for you.
  • All answers are explained on this page.
  • It is advisable to read the instructions below (click on the word "Instructions").

So let's get started!

  1. Can a person who does not have a psychological education be called a psychologist?
    Yes, you can, if he is well versed in people.
    Yes, it is possible, but only if he is fully familiar with the program of universities in psychology (for example, he studied on his own).
    It is impossible, because real psychological knowledge in full can be obtained only by a university graduate in psychology.
  2. A counselor psychologist should always give his client clear and specific advice on what to do in the current situation. Do you agree with this?
    Yes. For this, people go to a consultant.
    Not necessarily, it all depends on the situation.
    It is highly undesirable for the consultant to give direct advice to the client.
  3. It is known that psychological methods of conflict-free communication in real life often do not work. In your opinion, why is this happening?
    Additional factors affecting the situation are not taken into account.
    In a stressful situation, all techniques simply fly out of my head.
    Both of the previous options are correct.
  4. Is the mental elaboration of complexly coordinated actions practical? For example, difficult movements in sports, dancing, or playing a musical instrument.
    Yes, there is a benefit: it is enough to work out such actions only mentally, without physical training, and the real result will improve by itself.
    There is some benefit, but only if you combine mental workout with real physical workout, and the share of physical workout should be greater.
    There is a benefit, but very insignificant: nothing can replace physical training.
  5. A common problem for losers is this:
    They don't have a clear goal.
    They lack action, activity.
    Both are true.
  6. Is it possible to change your character traits at will?
    Perhaps.
    The character of a person can change during his life, but he cannot be changed by his own will.
    The character is generally not subject to changes throughout a person's life.
  7. If a person has a higher education, can we say that his level of intelligence is high?
    Of course, a completed higher education is an indicator of a person's high intellectual level.
    Not necessary. Obtaining any education contributes to an increase in the level of intelligence, but it is not at all an indicator of it.
    The level of education has nothing to do with intelligence at all. An indicator of intelligence is a completely different quality of a person.
  8. Is it immoral to use human manipulation techniques?
    Yes, of course, using manipulation techniques is immoral!
    Not necessary. Manipulation techniques can be used for both immoral and positive purposes.
    There is nothing immoral in using manipulation techniques, because the laws of society are as follows: either you control, or you are controlled.
  9. Which of the following is most important when a psychologist conducts a professional selection (i.e. examines the personal qualities of a candidate for a job or service)?
    Clearly define the purpose of professional selection.
    Give as many different psychodiagnostic techniques as possible.
    Both are true.
  10. Is there any reason to consider psychology a pseudoscience?
    There are reasons: all psychological knowledge is vague, the laws are imprecise.
    There are reasons: psychology is not an integral science, it is a set of theories and hypotheses that often contradict each other.
    There are no such grounds. Psychology may well be classified as a normal full-fledged science, although it has its own characteristics.
  11. Is an authoritarian leadership style acceptable in modern workers (service) collectives?
    Acceptable and even desirable, because the team then works more harmoniously and efficiently.
    Acceptable, but only in teams with a certain composition of people and specific activities.
    The authoritarian style is generally unacceptable in modern society; it is the worst way to manage a team.
  12. Is it acceptable for a psychologist to be hot-tempered and unrestrained?
    Yes, this is quite acceptable: a psychologist is also a person, the same as everyone else.
    In work, such behavior is unacceptable (for example, when communicating with clients during a consultation), but in some kind of personal or everyday communication, it is quite acceptable.
    No. The psychologist must be able to control himself in any situation. If he is quick-tempered and unrestrained, then this is no longer a psychologist.
  13. Can a person change his temperament at will?
    Yes it is possible.
    It is impossible to change your temperament on your own. But this can be done with the help of a hypnotist or a good therapist.
    It's impossible.
  14. Relaxation (i.e. relaxation of the muscles of the body) is a rather popular corrective exercise among psychologists. In your opinion, is relaxation really effective for solving some psychological problems?
    Yes, letting go of muscle clamps helps to automatically solve many psychological problems.
    Relaxation is useful, but it is a supportive action in solving psychological problems.
    Relaxation is good for health, but has nothing to do with solving a person's psychological problems.
  15. Are there, in your opinion, manipulation techniques in which, with the help of certain words and gestures, you can hypnotize a person: a) quickly (for example, within 2-3 minutes, or even a few seconds), b) against his will, c) in a natural situation (for example, when meeting on the street)?
    Yes, such techniques exist, although this hypnosis does not work for 15-20% of people.
    Yes, there are such techniques, they work for about 40-50% of people.
    No, there are no such techniques.
  16. As you know, age-related crises of children can proceed quite violently and cause a lot of trouble for both adults and the child himself. What is the evidence of the rapid course of such a crisis?
    That the development of this child is proceeding normally.
    The fact that the development of the child is neglected from a psychological and pedagogical point of view.
    With the correct upbringing of a child, there should not be any age crises at all.
  17. Is it possible to quickly (within a few seconds) and voluntarily change your psychological state in order to solve some urgent problems? For example, in the event of an emergency.
    Yes, you can.
    You can, but it takes at least a few minutes.
    It is impossible to change your psychological state of your own accord. It changes only under the influence of external factors.
  18. Impact on the subconscious of a person, according to many psychologists, is an absolutely effective way of manipulation. Do you agree with this?
    Yes, I completely agree.
    I cannot agree. This is far from such a fail-safe way that people often try to imagine it.
    There is a lot of talk about this, but I don't think it works at all.
  19. If you long and persistently imagine the desired result, then you will surely have it, and by itself (this is called the "technique of fulfilling desires"). Do you believe it?
    Yes it is possible.
    Yes, this is possible, but it concerns only the personal qualities of a person, and not material values.
    Of course I don't believe in such nonsense! Why would it suddenly?
  20. Does the style of team leadership depend on the number of people in this team?
    Yes, it does. Moreover, the number of people is a decisive factor for the leadership style.
    Yes, it does, and may or may not even be the deciding factor.
    The number of people in the team does not affect the leadership style at all.
  21. What, in your opinion, is the main indicator of human intelligence?
    Life experience.
    General level of erudition, erudition.
    Ability to think flexibly, to quickly reconfigure your thinking.
  22. Is it possible to call a professional psychologist a person who has his own unresolved psychological problems?
    Oh sure. The psychologist is also only a human being.
    You can, if these problems are small and not serious.
    Of course not! What kind of psychologist is this then ?!
  23. How do you feel about the "25th frame" method?
    This is the most effective method of manipulating people using electronic media.
    This method is used effectively for teaching. For example, foreign languages.
    This is all lies and quackery.

Over the past decade, psychological testing has been increasingly used in various spheres of social practice. Already in kindergarten, readiness for learning, the level of formation of cognitive processes and other characteristics of the child are determined.

When entering school, the child is again faced with psychological tests and methods. Psychologists and teachers identify the characteristics of character and temperament, motivation, emotional sphere, determine the reasons for academic failure, violations of interpersonal contacts in school teams. In high school, when it comes time to self-identify, psychologists help identify professional preferences and inclinations. Many professions assume that a person has certain psychological qualities. Unfortunately, not all of them lend themselves to development and correction, creating restrictions on engaging in certain types of activities, therefore, timely testing can help to detect these restrictions and thereby prevent unnecessary training costs and probable personal problems due to an unsuccessfully chosen profession.

The main goal that we set for ourselves when studying the course "Psychology and Pedagogy" was very accurately formulated by the ancient Greeks, when he wrote on one of their churches: "Know thyself!" The most interesting object on Earth for a person is himself. It would seem that we know ourselves from birth, but the more we think about it, the more we understand that we are a mystery to ourselves. Psychological tests are aimed at revealing this veil of secrecy. In the classroom, working independently and at the same time in a group, each participant will learn something new about himself. Perhaps you will discover a hidden potential in yourself, or maybe you will find something that you would like to get rid of. In this case, methods of correction and development can help.

This manual contains materials for practical training in the course "Psychology and Pedagogy". The collection includes classic tests developed by domestic and foreign psychologists. Tests and exercises are selected as follows, firstly, they must correspond to the course being studied, secondly, work with the test should not take more than 20-30 minutes (since the lesson time is limited) and, thirdly, they can be used in a group form work. In order to relieve practical lessons, some tests can be offered to students to perform independently, but with the obligatory discussion of the results in the lesson. The course is designed for one semester and is intended for full-time and part-time students of all faculties of KSTU.
