The existence of personality types is one of the most extremely controversial issues. In contrast to the ideology of the “Big Five” or biological approach, we presume that the typology of individuality cannot be reduced to temperament types or personality ones, since reflects the effect of the interaction of multi-level properties of a person. This study focuses on the empirical identification of types of individuality and the description of their behavioral manifestations. One thousand and one hundred volunteers aged 19-35 (73% female), took part in the present study. We used a set of methods for assessing the multi-level properties of individuality: Temperament, Fundamental Personality Dimensions (PEN), Character Traits, Motivation, Cognitive Styles, Intelligence, Hardiness, Spiritual Personality Traits, Meaning in Life, Axiological Orientation, and Ways of Coping. Principal Component Analysis (Varimax rotation) reduced 81 variables into four main components, which were called Wisdom, Emotionality, Activity, and Sociability. Hierarchical Cluster Analysis allowed us to identify four groups of respondents who differ in the manifestations of the above-described integrative variables. We called these complexes of individuality traits as “Ordinary Man”, “Spiritual Man”, “Man of Mood” and “Man of Action”. The significance of differences between groups was confirmed based on multivariate ANOVA.
