Abstract
The overall goal of this chapter is to provide the reader with an integrated conceptual framework for understanding human intelligence and personality as these qualities are reflected in dynamic, complex patterns of social behavior. To accomplish this rather broad and challenging objective, each of the three major constructs represented in this chapter—personality, intelligence, and social behavior—are defined and explicated in separate sections designed to build upon one another in an organized, systematic manner. The intended result is a rich, coherent framework of considerable practical utility (M. Ford & D. Ford, 1987).
