Recommendations on how to make a psychogram include the need for a psychological analysis of the structure of activity, as well as a characterization of the requirements for the human psyche for each particular profession. Always make a psychogram, taking into account the qualities that a potential employee must have in order to fully fulfill the tasks assigned to him, making a typical portrait of a successful professional.
Explore a particular profession from various perspectives by conducting the process of professiography. Use two criteria for each necessary quality of a potential successful employee - an assessment of a successful professional and an assessment of the level of your employee’s own qualities.

Drawing up a psychogram at the initial stage provides a clear description of a particular profession, so make an accurate list of the mandatory tasks that a professional should perform. When compiling a psychogram for fabric dyers, merchandising experts, OTC controllers, tasters, take into account the actions of perception, since such employees need sensory images in their work - visual, olfactory, auditory and tactile.

When composing a psychogram for radio announcers and musicians, TV presenters and actors, doctors and lawyers, make the main emphasis on memory actions, since representatives of these professions have to memorize a fairly significant amount of information. Sound images are indispensable for composers, but in psychograms of professional artists and architects, mechanical engineers, fashion designers, make an important emphasis on visual images. Include in a psychogram the person’s ability to perceive simple and complex logical images, highlighting for each particular profession one of the three types of preferred intelligence - verbal-logical, technical and social.

At the next stage of compiling a psychogram, describe in detail the reconstruction of the actions required to fully achieve the goals. In this case, separate the external actions of a successful professional from their possible actions performed internally. At the last stage, correlate frequently occurring critical mental functions and professional actions, abilities and processes, as well as skills that can ensure the fulfillment of all goals.
