The article examines and analyzes the personal characteristics of adolescents studying in cadet classes and classes of the program "Mathematical vertical". Using the adapted version of the Cattell test for adolescents of the corresponding age, the authors compared the personality traits of school cadets and school mathematicians. For boys cadets and boys mathematicians, statistically significant differences were found in one of the factors (factor A), tendencies to change were also revealed in two factors (factor H and O), and for girls cadets and girls mathematicians, no differences were found. The personality traits of adolescents that we have discovered, especially boys studying in the cadet and mathematics classes of a general education school, indicate that special attention should be paid to the psychological support of these educational programs.
