Abstract

Based on factor analysis, 148 subjects were evaluated by symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90), Big Five personality scale and career maturity scale. After standardized and non-dimensional data processing and verification of suitability, six key common factors were extracted, including mental health, career planning, information processing.personality traits, psychological deterioration degree and interpersonal relationship.and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 82.59%. The effective samples were divided into three types: sunshine elite type, medium adaptability type and workplace apprenticae type by systematic clustering method. The research results provide scientific basis for talent selection, training and team building, and emphasize the importance of mental health assessment and individualized training.which has theoretical and practical value.
