ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents closing thoughts of key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book discussed the fundamental links between personality traits and several indicators of intellectual competence, notably psychometric intelligence, Academic Performance (AP) and Performance in the Workplace (WP) and Subjectively Assessed Intelligence (SAI). It addressed the question of whether interactions, at the psychometric level, between measures of intelligence and inventories of personality can increase knowledge on the relationship between the major constructs in differential psychology and, moreover, shed some light into the possible effects of personality on intellectual competence. The book shows that personality and psychometric intelligence can be used as different predictors of performance in academic as well as occupational settings precisely because they are extensively measures of different, distinctive individual differences. It examined the possible effects of personality traits on other real-life, individual differences such as creativity, leadership, and art judgment.
