This article was first mentioned modification projective technique “Colour Mirror” for iPad called “Tsvetomer of Personality”. The investigation of the psychometric equivalence of two forms of colour techniques, paper and iPad, is presented. Discussed in detail the differences and advantages of using the computer version. The sample layout and procedure implementation are describes. Test-retest reliability of the figures obtained by the integral scales (the accuracy of answers, energetic level of personality, stress resistance) and other parameters (the preferred colures, personality structure) are represented. Comparison of the results of a double test in three groups (on paper and on iPad, twice on iPad, twice on the paper) speaks in favor of a homogenous group. Test results on iPad are considered similar, but not completely equivalent to the results of testing by the method of paper “Colour Mirror”.

The article explains the continuity of domestic proforientational methods, DDQ and «Proforientator». The authors described the scientific and organiziational contributions, made by Professor E.A. Klimov in the development of modern proforientational diagnostic methods. The reader of this article can find the illustration of his contributions to the history of emergence of a computerized test «Proforientator» and the logic of its revising. The authors focus on the block «interests» and secondary scales of modern test in the areas of targeted learning. Analysis of massive empirical material using expert assessment and mathematical statistics, allowed to reasonably prove validity of schoolchildren’ test results with the help of the «Proforientator» test real career, with a precision of up to six areas of targeted learning. Also it was given attention to deal with individual bright cases involving real failed choices of higher education and specialty. The materials described the theoretical basis of domestic proforientational approach, which have been tested in practice.
