Abstract

The article is focused on the discussion on the definition of “ethnodiagnostics”. The substantiation of 
the necessity of ethnodiagnostics of the creatively gifted nature of the ethnophore is based on the theoretical 
principles of S. Aurobindo's “integral philosophy”, R. Steiner's anthroposophy, ethnogenesis in L. Gumilev's 
biosphere, G. Le Bon's “psychology of nations and masses”, game theory as a function essential forces of na
ture D. Uznadze, socionic typology KG Jung.
 The working concepts of “ethnic talent” and “ethnodiagnostics” are formulated. 
The ethno-environmental, ethnobiological, ethnocultural components of the self-identification of the cre
atively gifted nature of the ethnophore are concretized. The definition of levels of ethnic self-identification is 
proposed: satori, ethnophore, mankurt.
 The indicators that record the creative talent of the ethnophore are substantiated: the ability to use eco
logical nature in the ethnic landscape; the dominance of the bodily constitution “integral tri-dosha”; self-iden
tification with the ethnotype “ethical-intuitive introvert”, pseudonym “peacemaker”, mental functions “ethics 
of relations” and “intuition of abilities”.
 Indicators of self-diagnosis of artistic and creative talent of future designers and artists of decorative and 
applied arts according to the generalized results of the doshi-test are given. A brief qualitative analysis of the 
quantitative indicators of the doshi test was performed.
 The author refers to his previous publication in the journal of ethnomethodological principles of diagno
sis of creative talent, generalized profiles of talent, abilities and characteristics of the Ukrainian ethnotype. It 
is concluded that the self-knowledge of Ukrainian ethnophores of creative giftedness of their nature as a game functional tendency of physical, mental, spiritual essential forces requires the development of ethnodiagnostic direction in the study of the phenomena of giftedness.
