Abstract
The article presents results of our experimental studies demon strating the techniques and methods of instrumental diagnos tics of individual preferences that the test subject intuitively at tributes to a number of significant factors of his/her personal success, as well as those role models, which are perceived by the test subject as the most appropriate description of his/her current state; some features of instrumentally recordable reac tions to specially selected stimuli are noted herein to provide additional opportunities for identifying the hierarchical system of vital goals and values of a person, a dispositional description of the structure of his/her actual needs.
