Abstract
This scriptum is an attempt to apophatically describe the characteristics that possible future psychology should not possess. Five following characteristics have been highlighted. Firstly, future psychology should abandon its name. Secondly, future psychology will not be a science, but a technological discipline. Thirdly, it should not be a discipline immersed in its own history. Fourthly, it should be a non-reflective science. And lastly, future possible science-oriented psychology should be a field of knowledge where measurement precedes calculation.
