an original psychodiagnostic technique developed by the Soviet psychologist Lyudmila Nikolaevna Sobchik on the basis of her own theory of leading trends. The method allows to give quantitative assessments of the severity of individual typological properties of the personality. A graphic representation of the correlations of these properties makes it possible to understand the degree of compensation of the tendencies that have gone beyond the norm, to judge the prevailing socio-psychological trends, and the individual cognitive style of the respondent.
