Abstract

The article addresses the issue of standardization of the Ukrainian version of a widely used psychodiagnostic tool for studying personality structure, namely, the Big Five questionnaire, which functions as a subjective method of personality self-assessment. It presents the results of an empirical study focused on the calibration and calculation of a number of psychometric indicators for the adapted Ukrainian-language version of this instrument. The researchers collected empirical data from a representative selection of cadets at the National Academy of the National Guard of Ukraine.

The text provides average statistical norms for the military student sample, as well as the results of a comparative analysis with previously obtained data from cadet samples at higher education institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine and police officers. The article also describes various individual-personality profiles, classifying them as positive, less positive, or negative in relation to their suitability for service activity in the National Guard of Ukraine.
