The article discusses the possibilities and limitations of the study of such a complex phenomenon as personal self-actualization. A scheme for the analysis of the self-actualizing personality traits in people, whose direct examination is difficult, is presented. The proposed scheme has been tested on example of the study of self-actualizing personality traits in modern Russian politicians (former and current Russian presidents and presidential candidates in the election campaign in 2012).
