Intelligence self-evaluation in structural links with psychometric intelligence, personality traits, academic achievements and gender

Abstract

Theoretic background of understanding intelligence self-evaluation as a multidimensional structure involved in interlinks between personality traits and psychometric intelligence. Based on students sample (N = 496) study an empirical model is proposed. Within the framework of this model intelligence self-evaluation is considered as a latent gap variable between latent parameters (factors) of psychometric intelligence and ambiguity tolerance. Furthermore, an empirical structural model that combines intelligence self-evaluation with latent parameters of psychometric intelligence and academic achievements is presented. The data obtained show that intelligence self-evaluation in men is significantly higher than in women.
