Retest reliability was determined by re-surveying after 3 weeks and using correlation analysis, with the Pearson coefficient being 0.721. The validity of the method was determined by means of factorization (the explained variance is 66.627%) and correlation analysis with the indicators of the method of professional self-efficacy, where the Pearson coefficient is r= - 0.619. Standardization of the method involved the development of three levels of professional frustrated personality of the individual with the corresponding numerical ranges.
