The rapid change in the environment comes into conflict with the psychophysiological capabilities of vision and the human organism as a whole, which leads not only to myopia, but also to an increase in the number of mental illnesses. In this paper we investigated the effect of an aggressive visual environment on groups of people divided by psycho-types. To divide were used the scores of the introversion-extroversion scale as revealed by Eisenk's 57-question test. Functional indices were taken after exposure to comfortable and aggressive visual environment (CVE and AVE), specially made two video clips, using the following tests: state self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ), in, as well as “Pilots test” – a video game (when the functional capacity of the body decreased faster error was admitted). Analysis of the results of the experiment allows us to conclude: – Mann-Whitney criterion showed the existence of statistically significant differences at the significance level p < 0.05 between the samples of SAQ indicators before and after exposure to ABC, confirming its negative impact on human well-being; – reliable statistical correlation of test indicators between each other testifies to the detectable influence of the aggressive visual environment on people with different psycho-types; – absence of reliable correlation between the degree of extraversion of introversion and test scores, although observations indicate that introverts in general react more pronouncedly to the impact of aggressive visual environment due to their higher sensitivity to external stimuli and their low stress-resistance; – In order to clarify the specifics of the influence of an aggressive visual environment on people with different psychotypes, the use of multiple techniques or techniques with multiple indicators, or the study of other personality characteristics, such as neuroticism or attention deficits, seems promising.
