ABSTRACT

This book has attempted to examine and discuss the fundamental links between personality traits (such as the Big Five) and several indicators of intellectual competence, notably psychometric intelligence (chap. 4), AP and WP (chap. 5), and SAI (chap. 6). In addition, we have looked at other latent constructs that may be predicted by, and understood in terms of, a combination of both personality and intelligence (e.g., leadership, creativity, and art judgment; chap. 7). Yet what are the salient points to be summarized from the previous chapters, and what conclusions can be drawn from this book?
