The research is devoted to the topic of communicative traits of students-psychologists who are inclined to leadership. The research topic is due to the growing popularity of the specialty "Psychology" and the need to improve educational programs not only in the direction of providing key professional competencies, but also in the development of soft skills, which include leadership and communication skills. Emphasis is placed on the need to determine the features of communicative skills of future psychologists inclined to leadership in order to further develop individualized programs for leadership development of students in this professional field. The study involved 60 students of 3–4 courses studying in the educational program "Psychology". The following methods were used in the study: B. Bass's multifactor questionnaire of leadership, T. Leary's method of diagnostics of interpersonal relations, R. McCray's and T. Costa's five-factor personality questionnaire. According to the results of the study, it was determined that most students have an average level of leadership qualities. All factors of transformational leadership are well developed in psychologists, but the most pronounced are influence and management. The dominant types of interpersonal relationships in students with a high level of leadership are authoritarian style and friendly, and with low – friendly and altruistic. Personal characteristics of psychologists: with a high level of leadership: extraversion (optimistic, active and energetic), commitment (kind and sensitive); with a low level: introversion (insecure, closed and sensible), isolation (independent, independent and cold in relation to others). In both study groups were found: self-control (responsible, accurate and persistent), emotional stability (emotionally mature, calm and realistic) and expressiveness (emotionality and easy attitude to life).
