As a result this will allow solve effectively the same professional problems by people with various combination of operational components in person’s structure. Therefore in this case it is appropriately to focus attention on the typological approach to person’s features similarity studying under the profession influence, and, taking this approach as a basis, a more flexible studying of this problem is offered, assuming the possibility for existence of several types in the same professional community. Therefore, there is an opportunity for dynamic development of person’s qualities in the presence of strongly expressed motivation to professional activity.

This direction of researches is especially topical in connection with political and social-economical transformations in society, and introduction of professional standards, demanding essential changes in training of specialists.

If the person’s professional choice is defined by random factors and there is no activity’s individual style formation during the training, such mistakes will be cost much in the future to both the person and the higher education institution.
