Peculiarities of "innovative potential of personality operational definition

In this article current strategies of a new scientific operational definition are discussed: primary strategy, conceptual strategy, composite strategy, methodologically oriented strategy. The methodological bases of the procedure of an operational definition innovative potential of personality are considered. Conceptual grounds of the system anthropological psychology that allow to represent the innovative potential of a personality in the context of understanding the mechanisms of self-development of a person as an open self-organizing system are discussed. We understand the system anthropological psychology as a relatively recent scientific development. Its special feature is defined by the fact that its authors' objective, while developing the methodological basis of this approach, was to ensure that it follows the mainstream tendencies of the objective development of psychological cognition. The system focus (a person as a self-organizing system) defines only one out of all the possible ways of approaching a person as a subject of psychological (not any other) cognition, at the same time drafting the borders of subject and problem fields which predetermine the number and quality of scientific tasks; their solution is acceptable in the framework of the given methodology. Within the framework of this approach the innovative potential of a personality is understood as a personality resource that under certain conditions can manifest itself as a fundamental ground for initiation of innovative behaviour. One such condition is modality of emotional and orientation complex, which allows a person to become involved into the regime of self-development (to transfer opportunities into reality) when an opportunity to shift to this regime occurs in the environment. Tensed opportunity is a source of innovative behaviour. That is why to understand it, it is necessary to exceed the bounds of search for the role of the psychic in the achievement of sustainable condition of a system. The special and only characteristic of a person form of transition of an opportunity into reality manifests itself in the phenomenon of innovative behaviour
