In part Pedagogy belongs to such area where assessing the foreign students’ typological belonging defines reaching the individual approach that is considered to be the pedagogical direction in priority at Pedagogical sciences modern developmental stage. We put the aim to assess personality neuro-dynamic peculiarities (temperament type, extra-introversion) and personality cognitive style some parameters (locus-control, reaction styles in the complicated life situations such as coping, defense and avoiding) dependently on interhemispherical asymmetry individual profile (dexterity-sinistrality with other words) in the 19-27-yeared and both-sexed foreign students 63 in number. We also took the sinistrality type into consideration while defining the real, hidden or forced and unreal sinisters. We found following interrelations between studied indices. Melancholics were dominant among sinisters, sanguinics - among dexters. Melancholics were also dominant among ambidexters at sanguinics and phlegmatics complete absence. Melancholics were prevailing at sinisters division into groups. Introverts dominated among sinisters’ all groups and ambidexters while extroverts – among dexters. Defense strategy was characteristic for sinisters and ambidexters bigger amount while coping – for dexters. Sinisters and ambidexters had external locus-control while dexters - the internal one.
