The purpose of the present study was to allocate the factors of success in refereeing work in football of people with different personality structures. The researchers suggested that irrational sensory persons with compulsive character type are the best referees. Proceeding from the results of the studies, referees get the highest scores at the age of 25 with a 7-year refereeing experience. The referees’ estimates decrease after reaching the physiological and intellectual peak of 25 years, stipulating for an essential outflow of the personnel. The referees’ average falls in the age of 25-28. Another trend of the further outflow of the refereeing personnel along with remaining most qualified staff with the average level higher than of the others starts from the age of 29. It provides for the rise of the average of estimations of highly skilled referees. Such referees reach their maximum in qualification at the age of 39 and 16 years of refereeing experience. Then a decline of their qualification is observed. The sphere of interest orientation was the most informative from psychological point of view. The studies revealed a rather weak impact of «will and feelings» - character types - on the assessment of refereeing. Bodily-kinesthetic and spatial intelligence were proved to be most valuable in football.
