The study was designed to analyze benefits of the creative resource self-rating system in the academic sport disciplines. The study was performed in the academic sport divisions of Surgut State University. 18-23 year-old students (n=257 of both sexes) of the Physical Education and Sport department were sampled for the study. We applied the Sharov’s Personality Creative Resource Rating Test to help every student rate his/her own creative resource. The self-rating data array was found expressly bimodal, with the sample generally grouped into those who said ‘yes’ and ‘no’ to most of the test questions. It was found that the responses were generally governed by the availability of the subject quality, with those who have this quality coping with most of the questions, and those who lack it failing to cope. We believe that the university policies shall be geared to empower the first ones and to change the mindsets of the second ones. The only problem in implementing this obvious grouping policy is how to avoid the discriminatory/ isolative attitudes in the academic and social environments.

Keywords: progress management, creative resource, education environment, monitoring, normal distribution asymmetries.
