Abstract

This article presents a systemic-empirical investigation into the multi-factor personality structure, motivational strategies, and risk-taking readiness of public security military personnel ($n=441$). The research methodology incorporates R.B. Cattell’s Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF), T. Ehlers’ motivational inventories, and the Schubert Risk-Readiness Test. Mathematical-statistical analysis via the Z-test revealed non-normal distributions across all evaluated scales ($p \le 0.01$) alongside high interpersonal dispersion. The empirical findings indicate a prominent regulatory core within the respondents' psychological profile, characterized by "Social Maturity-Conscientiousness" ($M=6.44$), "Independence" ($M=6.20$), and "Self-Control" ($M=6.16$), coupled with a high manifestation of "Achievement Motivation" ($M=26.46$). Although the Schubert test yielded a moderate mean for "Risk-Readiness" ($M=9.78$), the acutely elevated standard deviation ($\sigma=11.61$) confirms a stark polarization (differentiation) regarding risk attitudes within the cohort. Based on these findings, actionable recommendations are proposed for the digitalization of personnel selection frameworks.
