First stage (duration 1 hour 30 minutes)

The first stage is to assess operational abilities required for profession (with pencil on paper):

• “Compasses” and “Clocks” examine spatial orientation - the ability to focus on a plane and in the three-dimensional space;

• “Scale 1” examines the short-term memory and the ability to quickly calculate;

• "Device awareness”, “Block computing" and "Rotated blocks” examines spatial orientation/visualization (the ability to create a three-dimensional model of the situation from the available information);

• "Hidden figures” examines the attention allocation;

• “The information in the table” examines information perception and attention allocation.

Second stage (duration 2 hours 30 minutes)

Applicants carry out three individual tests:

• MMPI methodology to diagnose personality characteristics and deviations from the norm;

• Holland Methodology - to assess adequacy of career choices and fitness for the profession;

• Kraepelin methodology – to assess mental productivity and focus variations.

In the third stage (duration 1 hour) candidates participate in three individual interviews with each of the members of the enrolment commission. These interviews assess individual personality characteristics.
