Personality-intelligence relations: Assessment of typical intellectual engagement.

Maynard Goff, Phillip L. Ackerman·1992·Journal of Educational Psychology

Abstract

Relations between personality and intelligence were investigated in the context or the distinction between intelligence as typical engagement and intelligence as maximal engagement. The traditional approach to investigating the association between intelligence as maximal performance and personality was reviewed, and suggestions were made, including the suggestion that intelligence as typical engagement results in clearer understanding or personality-intelligence relations. Thirteen personality/interest constructs hypothesized to surround a core construct or typical intellectual engagement and related to typical intellectual performance were operationalized
