This article presents the results of research for the expert and methodical center of assessment and certification of qualifications of specialists in the nuclear industry established on the basis of the National Nuclear Innovation Consortium. A series of new professional standards for the nuclear industry has shown that the value of social and personal competence is increasing. The objectives of the study were to identify latent personality factors that have a significant impact on the performance of various types of management activities and to create a model for assessing the socio-personal competence of IT specialists and managers of the nuclear industry. To solve the problem of classification various methods of the cluster analysis were used. The study was performed in 2014 on students of NRNU MEPhI. Cluster analysis in the set of attributes taking into account both individual personality traits and achievements allowed forming five independent classes. For each of the five classes we derived a model of assessment of the level of development of social and personal competence.
