Automation of Psychological Selection Procedures for Personnel to Specific Activities

Abstract

The article presents a universal method for determining the professional suitability (PS) of a candidate and an algorithm for forming a psychological profile for a specific profession based on determining the psychological potential of personality. The developed method is based on the use of automated support systems. Based on the obtained value of the integral indicator, a decision is made on the PS group of this candidate. This method adapts to the requirements of the profession to candidates, taking into account changes in the conditions of activity by adjusting the typical psychological profile of the personality. The developed method for determining a candidate’s PS has been brought to practical implementation in the form of an Automated Psychodiagnostic Complex (APDC) “Psychodiagnostics.” APDC has been tested on the example of the psychological selection procedures of personnel for military service in units with law enforcement functions. APDС allows to reduce the time and labor costs for conducting psychodiagnostic studies, increases the reliability of tests due to a higher degree of standardization of the testing procedure, increases the accuracy of assessing psychological characteristics, and reduces the likelihood of errors in the processing of test results. APDС can be used for recruiting in various sectors of the economy, education, and military sphere.

The Role of Psychological Selection of Applicants for Higher Education in Dangerous Professions

“…There are standardized questionnaires [12] and software/hardware systems [1,10], which are used for psychological selection in the world. The general difference between these two is that the use of software and hardware systems eliminates the possibility of mechanical errors in data collection and processing.…”

Individual and Psychological Characteristics of Law Enforcement Officers as a Basis for Effective Psychological Selection of Personnel for Modern Police Organizations

“…In recent years, national and foreign scientists have paid a lot of attention to the issue of diagnosing the individual characteristics of police officers, as well as to the development of qualification characteristics of law enforcement professions. It is worth noting the attempts and efforts of modern scientists to expand the scope of scientific research in this direction (Barko et al, 2020;Bondarenko, et al, 2020a;Kirdan et al, 2021;Kryvolapchuk et al, 2020;Kubaienko et al, 2021;Miloradova et al, 2015;Ostapovich, et al, 2020;Prontenko, et al, 2020;Prykhodko, et al, 2022). This increased the potential opportunities of practical psychologists in working with the personnel of police bodies and units, improved the system of psychological support for their activities, etc.…”
