The relationship between the structure of intelligence and temperament characteristics, as basic personality characteristics

the relevance of the study is determined by the fact that existing studies often consider intelligence and temperament separately, which limits the possibility of a comprehensive analysis and application of the acquired knowledge in practice. The aim of the work was to establish the relationship between the structure of intelligence and the characteristics of the nervous system in young people studying at a higher educational institution with a humanitarian focus. The study involved 34 people (16 people - 1st year (17.94 ± 0.93 years old), 18 people - 4th year (20.56 ± 0.98 years) of students of a humanitarian university. All subjects gave informed consent for the study, were practically healthy at the time of the examination, had no chronic diseases. The methods used: R. Amthauer's intelligence structure test; questionnaire of formal-dynamic properties of individuality (QFDPI) by V.M. Rusalov; technique for studying the properties of the nervous system by Ya. Strelyau (adapted by N.N. Danilova, A.G. Shmelev). The analysis of the obtained results did not reveal statistically significant differences between boys and girls. Comparison based on the principle of belonging to the course of study demonstrated a statistically significant difference in all parameters of intelligence, some parameters of temperament (intellectual ergicity, psychomotor plasticity and psychomotor speed) and properties of the nervous system (inhibition) between 1st and 4th year students. A relationship was established between the structure of intelligence and the characteristics of the nervous system in young people studying at a higher educational institution with a humanitarian focus. The dominance of spatial abilities in the structure of correlations indicates the adaptive nature of interaction in the continuum "intelligence – temperament".
