Summary/Abstract: This chapter considers the issue of competence. In addition to the classical concept of competence, the authors briefly present the Phenomenological Diamond Competence Model (conception by co-author Kazimierz Mrozowicz in 2010), indicating that personality is an important element of competence. On the basis of this approach, a research sample is presented which includes Group A, mountain rescue-team members, and Group B, medical personnel. The premise was that people performing rescue roles are usually individuals with a well-adapted mental norm with average intensity of extraversion and low neuroticism. The research results confirmed this hypothesis. The authors propose that the Phenomenological Diamond Competence Model and the Model of Selective Rings, also developed by Mrozowicz, be utilised in creating professional profiles.
