The following article is dedicated to the creation of an innovative methodology for the structuring of students' educational profiles. Contemporary education is provoked by the revolutionary development of digital smart technologies. In this context, inclusive education following the paradigm of United Nations’ sustainable development Goal 4 for Quality Education (United Nations, 2025) faces new challenges, including the implementation of educational profiles of students in personalized education. The effectiveness of personalized education requires a holistic approach to recognizing the manifestations of personality in the educational environment in order to successfully implement individualized educational trajectories for students. The present work describes an innovative toolkit for structuralizing students' educational profiles through the prism of their personal strengths. The questionnaire was piloted among 238 participants, each of whom was selected according to established criteria for competence and professional experience. Statistical data analysis clearly indicated the presence of five main factors (social competence, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and sensory) that constitute the integral system of the educational profile of students' personal strengths. Each of the abovementioned factors is discussed in details and in the context of the interaction between the individual cross-factor relationships. In conclusion, a working model for educational profiles of students according to their strengths and competencies is presented.
