Summary. The purpose of the study is to develop a model for express diagnostics of the professional psychological suitability of conscript military personnel.
Materials and methods of research. The object of the study was randomly selected conscript military personnel (n=60), whose average age was (23.78±1.27) years. Criteria for inclusion in the study were conscription age and written consent of the subject to participate in the study; exclusion criteria from the study – lack of written consent to participate in the study, incorrect testing, severe illness – high fever, chills, etc.
When processing the research results, descriptive statistics methods and cluster analysis using the K-means method were used. The significance of differences between groups was assessed using Student’s t-test; to develop decision rules, the multiple regression method and forward discriminant analysis stepwise with inclusion were used (F-enter = 2.0); (F-remove=1.9) and p<0.05. The critical value of the significance level was considered to be 0.05. Mathematical data processing was carried out using the STATISTICA v.10.0 software package.
Research results and their analysis. Using the example of conscripted military personnel, the possibility of predicting professional psychological suitability using express testing based on vibraimage technology is shown. The results of testing aimed at assessing personality accentuations, abilities (types of multiple intelligences according to G. Gardner), as well as the moral qualities of military personnel were analyzed. Decisive rules have been constructed that make it possible to predict the professional psychological suitability of a serviceman with an accuracy of more than 91%.

Key words: accentuations, conscripts, express diagnostics, military service, moral qualities, multiple intelligences, professional suitability, vibraimage
