The second phase of the study established the professionally significant qualities of the most successful managers in the industrial production system, affecting the efficiency of their professional activities, as well as the professionally important qualities of less successful managerial engineers, which allow them to compensate for the insufficient development of some qualities through the development of others. At the third stage of the study, the level of formation of professionally important qualities of intelligent «I» engineers was determined compared to their reference characteristics.
