title: [Theory of image discernment and resolution of classification problems using medico-psychological methods].
abstract: The report deals with questions pertaining to the use of the theory of image discernment for solving psychodiagnostical problems in clinical practice. The traditional understanding of a psychological test as a measurement instrument is being opposed to its new interpretation as an instrument of classification. On this basis the authors described the successional stages of the general procedure in the elaboration of tests. Special attention is being drawn to the selection of primary signs with the aid of informational measures and the formation of scales as discriminators. The suggested approach is being illustrated on the model of elaborating scales of a personality questionnaire and intellectual techniques.
