<p>Peculiarities of perception and assessment of individual psychological characteristics of unfamiliar people were studied using video images of their behavior. Participants were teachers with different professional experience (1—4 years; 5—29 years) and observers without teaching experience. We were interested in whether the personality assessment would change depending on the length of professional activity of the teacher. The stimulus material included video fragments of 7 students who described the personalities of strangers based on their picturesque portraits. Video clips lasted 1 minute and were shown without sound. The participants assessed the posers using the “Personal Differential” method and made a forecast of the success of their possible teaching activities. The ratings of participants with different teaching experience were compared with the posers’ self-ratings using Spearman’s correlation coefficient. The factorial structure of assessments in each of the groups of participants was analyzed (maximum likelihood method). The data were also analyzed using the method of semantic universals. The results showed that, depending on the presence and length of teaching experience of the observers, the set of semantic universals that characterize the perception of the posers’ personality varies, while maintaining the core of semantic categories. A similar factorial structure was obtained for assessments by teachers with little experience (up to 5 years) and participants without teaching experience. It includes factors “Energy”, “Fairness” and “Sociability”. The differences between these groups of participants and the group of teachers with extensive experience lie in the opposite sign of the loadings on the “Sociability” factor. For participants with extensive teaching experience (5 or more years), the assessment structure includes an additional fourth factor, “Emotional Stability”.</p>
