This paper examines the application of video-computer psychodiagnostics to assessing individual employee psychological characteristics when forming teams to perform complex and critical tasks in extreme conditions. The use of video-computer psychodiagnostics to form teams in extreme situations is a promising approach that combines computer vision, artificial intelligence, and data analysis to optimize actions in emergency situations. This paper also analyzes the pressing issue of improving the efficiency and safety of professional teams performing complex and critical tasks in extreme conditions (emergencies, military operations, space exploration, work in hazardous industries, etc.). The critical importance of considering the individual psychological characteristics of employees when forming such teams is substantiated. An innovative approach to assessing individual psychological characteristics using video-computer psychodiagnostics is presented. The need to address ethical issues and ensure the reliability of algorithms is emphasized. A conclusion is drawn regarding the significant potential of video-computer psychodiagnostics for optimizing personnel selection and team formation in extreme activities.
