Abstract



The following paper reviews the history of the projective psychological methodology - the Test of Photos of Professions or BBT (abbr. from German Berufbildertest), providing diagnostics and identification of individual professional aptitudes and predispositions of an individual. In Switzerland, the psychologist and vocational counselor Martin Achtnich created this professional orientation test in the 20th century, and since then it has become widespread not only in Europe but also abroad.
