problem), but versatile, i.e. aimed at an objective measurement of the state of an individual (or group)
at a particular moment.
Any psychodiagnostic examination is not an end in itself for a psychologist. Psychological
activity is always included in a wide range of professional tasks and therefore the knowledge gained
in the diagnostic process should not be useless or simply interesting. The main problem faced by the
psychologist is the correct planning of this survey, and the planning must take into account the tasks
and the real conditions for their implementation.

Survey organizational planning
Requirements for the ratio of methods in the survey program
A very difficult problem is the relationship between standardized measurement
techniques and expert (clinical) examination techniques. To properly solve this problem, you
need to imagine the advantages or disadvantages of certain techniques in a particular
situation.
The effectiveness of the survey results depends on the ratio of methods in the survey
program.
The final stage of planning a psychodiagnostic examination
Thus, the choice of the examination program (optimally from 4 to 5 tests) is determined
by the goals and objectives, the intellectual level of development of the subject, his mental
state and the attitude of the subject to the testing process itself are taken into account. To
solve a highly specialized problem, the program consists of 4-5 methods.

– Is there enough time?
When completing the methods in the program, the subsequent effect of
applying the methods should be taken into account. It is not necessary to
apply methods of a high degree of openness at the first stages. this causes
negativism in the client and psychological defense mechanisms work. It is
necessary to gradually increase the depth of the dialogue with the subject,
to build trust and establish feedback.
Therefore, the survey program should include standardized measuring techniques that
make it possible to obtain information about the client quickly enough and do not require
highly qualified psychologists. On the other hand, clinical methods are indispensable, which
are especially good in individual interaction with the client.

adequate to the selected initial criteria.

only the composition of the methods in the psychodiagnostic program, but
also to correct the methodology for conducting the test itself or develop a

1. The diagnosis is symptomatic (empirical). Is limited to stating certain features or
symptoms, on the basis of which practical conclusions are drawn, the researcher is

There are also two types of diagnosis:
psychological diagnosis is the need to clarify in each

data can be correlated with some norm (for example, when determining developmental
pathology) or with a criterion.

what are their causes and consequences.

Psychological diagnosis is the end result of activity
psychologist, aimed at describing and elucidating the essence of individual psychological
characteristics of a person in order to assess their current state, predict further
development and develop recommendations determined by the task of a psychodiagnostic
examination.
The subject of psychological diagnosis is the establishment of individual
psychological differences in normal and pathological conditions. The most important element
Diagnosis is inextricably linked to prognosis. According to L.S. Vygotsky, the
content of the forecast and the diagnosis coincide, but the forecast is based on the ability
to understand “the internal logic of the self-propulsion of the development process to
such an extent that a development path is outlined on the basis of the past and the
present.” L.S. Vygotsky recommended dividing the forecast into separate periods and
resorting to long-term repeated observations.
Thus, it is necessary to carry out work on the reproduction of stimulus material and
survey forms, prepare a room for the survey, prepare technical means, equipment, if
necessary for the survey, draw up a schedule for the survey. It should be convenient for
the client and for the diagnostician.
indicate their causes and place in the structure of personality. L.S. Vygotsky notes that
such a diagnosis is not properly scientific, because the establishment of symptoms never
automatically leads to a diagnosis.
