 Highlights

•  A wide range of descriptions of multilevel personality traits (81 scales) was presented.
• PCA revealed three generalized personality variables which was called Wisdom (W), Activity (A), and Emotionality (E).
• Three groups of respondents differing in the manifestations of W, E and A were identified: Psychoids, Social Adaptoids, and Neuroids.
• Psychoids characterize by low values of Wisdom and average values of Activity and Emotionality.
• Social Adaptoids are distinguished by high values of Wisdom and Activity and average values of Emotionality.
• Neuroids have high values of Wisdom, above average values of the Emotionality and low values of Activity.

Highlight:

• Humanities and technical profiles students use similar mental operations for solving setting tasks.
• Humanities profile students apply framed methods of mental operations in solving critical tasks.
• Cognitive rigidity in solving mental tasks is caused by the past experience influence.
• Technical profile students are capable of critical reframing the habit methods for solving critical tasks.
• Pros and cons of cognitive rigidity define the further decision contents and modes of action development for students with various profession orientation.
