Cognitive and Attentional Processes in Personality and Intelligence

  • Chapter
International Handbook of Personality and Intelligence

Part of the book series: Perspectives on Individual Differences ((PIDF))

Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to discuss progress in relating intelligence and personality to constructs based on information-processing theory. There has been extensive research on correlations between indices of information-processing functions and psychometric intelligence and personality measures, although it is relatively rare for intelligence and personality to be assessed within the same study. Because of the correlational nature of the evidence, we must tread carefully in drawing conclusions from it, and so we begin with an outline of the interpretative problems involved.
