The relevance of research. Professional difficulties of a practical psychologist are associated with the choice and application of specific methods in his work. In theoretical studies aimed at creation of methods, it is important to take into account the mechanism of typologizing the psychological characteristics of a person. In modern reality, practical psychologists are faced with the problem of the lack of their own methods aimed at personality research. Their development requires specific innovative technologies for creating measuring instruments that allow solving a specific diagnostic problem for a practical psychologist. The methodological basis of the research was made up of theoretical (analysis, synthesis, induction), system-structural, formallogical, empirical methods, and a statistical method for processing empirical data. The novelty of the research lies in the creation, on the basis of the system-based analysis of various personality typologies, of the author's methodology aimed at studying the characteristics of the professional position of the personality of a future psychologist of the penal system and identifying the types of professional position. The criterion validity of the author's method was confirmed using a diagnostic reference test. The types of the professional position of the personality of a psychologist of the FPS of Russia educational organizations of higher education were rechecked for completeness and orderliness. Conclusions are made about the correspondence between the characteristics of the types of the personality's professional position and the types of the professional orientation of the personality, which was established on the basis of the principle of semantic proximity. The author's created methodology for measuring the psychological characteristics of the professional position of the personality of a future psychologist will allow studying the issues of the professional position formation of a departmental psychologist. The field of application of the results of the study is not only purely scientific, but also practical. The use of this methodology will allow us to study the process of formation of a professional position in specific cadets during their training in FPS of Russia educational institutions of higher education. This kind of monitoring will contribute to the implementation of the most effective teaching and educational impact and, ultimately, the formation of the most mature professional position among cadets studying at the psychological faculty.
