METHOD OF ESTIMATION OF TENDENCY TO RISK Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC G09B9/52 A61B5/16 

FIELD: methods of estimation of psycho-physiological qualities human operator.

SUBSTANCE: method can be used for profession selection. Method is based upon formation of at least three frames with images of three concentric circles on screen of computer. Sizes of circles are set up randomly from frame to frame. The sequence is formed from smaller circle to biggest one fro any frame of start/finish area and of movable label coincided with the area. Label moves along circle at velocity being the higher the bigger than angle of inclination of handle of computer joystick is. Test is shown to test person concentrated to maximal quick shift of label from start area to finish area along any concentric circle, starting from smallest circle, and maximal precise stop of label is performed in finish area. For any circle the current values of average speed of movement of label is registered as well as distances from beginning of brake of label before finish area ahead of in front of area. If registered values meet preset criteria of threshold values of average speed of label shift and of distance from beginning of brake ahead finish area in front of finish area, the level of tendency to risk is estimated as TR=1. If the requirement is not met, then TR=0. Then sum of registered values of TR is calculated. Level of tendency to risk is estimated as low one at ratio of 0≤TR≤3, as average one at 4≤TR≤6 and as high one at 7≤TR≤9.

EFFECT: reduced time for testing; reduced psychological stress onto tested person.
