The article presents the results of a survey of 437 employees of investigative structures performing official functions in the framework of analytical and legal activities. The research was conducted from 1994 to 2003. The average age of employees is 32.6 years.Empirical evidence is provided that confirms the statistically significant differences in the speech-thinking, characterological and motivational aspects of the personality of specialists. Intellectual, motivational and personal characteristics of employees performing analytical and legal activities are described. As a diagnostic tool, the following methods were used: the intelligence coefficient of G. Eysenck (1946), the test for measuring the intellectual development level of Wechsler (1939), the semantic analysis of activity (CFIT R. Cattella, 1958), proof reading: The Landolt Rings (1846), Progressive matrices of J. Raven (1977),the Minnesota multidimensional personality questionnaire (MMPI) (adaptation by S. Hathaway, J. McKinley, 1940), the method of multilateral investigation of the personality of MMIL (adaptation of FB Berezin, MP Miroshnikov, 1976), color test of M. Luscher (1947) ), a modification of the test of picturesque frustrations of S. Rosenzweig (I.Noss, V.N. Ignatkin, 1997), a questionnaire for assessing motivation and job satisfaction (Questionnaire Mi UT) (K.Zamfir, A.L. Zhuravlev, 2001), test «Motivation Profile» (Sh. Richey-P.Martin, 1988). Particular attention is paid to the instrument of personal-professional diagnosis, its differentiating ability in the process of personnel assessment. It was found that at the age of 40 and 50 years there is a significant fluctuation of intellectual characteristics, there is a slight decrease in the level of intellectual activity among employees with character accentuations. Also, an inverse statistical relationship of the age of employees with indicators of mental abilities was revealed. Differences in motivational sphere of professional functioning are revealed. The idea of normality and the same structure of personal-professional aspirations of employees to perform their official duties is not unambiguous. Belonging to the specialty and different conditions of life force people to develop different determinants of their development. Also, instrumental problems of staff assessment were revealed. In this case, the relative stability of the characteristics of MMPI and its modifications has been revealed, which shows stable significant differences of employees depending on age.
