Abstract. Exam stress is a classic stress model and affects a person’s life activity, accompanied by numerous complex psychophysiological changes in the body. There are many situations in a person’s life that create mental stress, such as exam stress (for example, certification, testing, competitions, expertise, competition for employment, defense of a dissertation or thesis, public speeches, etc.). In all cases, a person tries to achieve his goal and results in psychological tension The aim of the study was to study the indicators of situational excitability in the process of examining 19-year-old boys of the Sanguine type of temperament. Before starting the practice, the types of the nervous system of 19-yearold adolescents were studied according to G. Eysenck’s test (sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic and melancholic). To determine the level of situational anxiety (emotional stress) of 19-year-old adolescents whose nervous system belongs to the sanguine type, an express version of the test questionnaire was used according to the method of Ch.D. Spielberg, Yu.L. Khanin. The experiments were carried out on an ordinary day, that is, two months before the exams, 30 minutes before the exam, and 30 minutes after the exam. There were differences that were taken into account when comparing students of the Sanguine type with students of the phlegmatic type on a normal day, before the exam, and after the exam. Determination of psychophysiological (situational and individual-figurative) indicators in students depending on the different type of temperament of higher nervous activity during the emotional stress of the examination process is proposed to be used in their professional choice (in particular, in professions associated with high neuropsychic stress). Also it is proposed to use this method as a forecast in the selection of personnel for other professions from the proposed results.
