Thereat, avoiding the uncertainty and the necessity of simplifying complex structures may, in consequence, lead to an inadequacy of the effect of their work. Employing the scales of Personal Need for Structure (PNS) and PNS-Geometry served to determine if the individuals with strong intensity of these qualities will have problems with understanding construction of complex spatial structures and correct solving of geometrical problems. The results of the preliminary research appear to validate the thesis.
