Can personality factors predict intelligence?

Relationship Between the Big-Five Personality Dimensions and Speed of Information Processing Among Adolescents

“…However, when we take into account less than 1% of the variance that these correlations explained, we can conclude that we have not found the Intellect-SIP correlation in the adolescent population. Our results are consistent with the findings of Bates and Shields (2003) and with the research that reports a zero correlation of Intellect with g and Gf Moutafi et al, 2005), and which further correlate with SIP. On the other hand, the results are partially different from the findings of Reeve et al (2006) because in that research the significant correlation exists for male and not for female adolescents, but that can be probably attributed to the methodological differences.…”

“…The relationship between personality dimensions and speed of information processing (SIP) is an issue that has not been thoroughly examined yet, despite numerous studies of the relationship between intelligence and personality (Ackerman & Heggestad, 1997;Demetriou et al, 2003;Eysenck, 1994;Moutafi et al, 2005), and despite the fact that SIP is an important aspect of human intellectual functioning (Carroll, 1993;Danthiir et al, 2005a;Demetriou et al, 2002;Jensen, 2006). Sočan and Bucik (1998) studied the relationship between SIP, Extraversion and Neuroticism starting with Eysenck's arousal theory (Eysenck, 1967) and the Brebner-Cooper Extraversion model (Brebner, 1980).…”

Comparison of Perceptual Reasoning Index of Intelligence between Personalities of Extravert and Ambivert

“…The present finding contradicted to most studies which stated that the certain types of personality have its own dominance in intelligence [59], [60]. However, the current study differed in terms of having smaller scale in comparing between general intelligence with the big five personality.…”

Time to be smart: Uncovering a complex interplay between intelligence and time perspectives

“…It has been suggested that openness/intellect correlates more specifically with gc rather than gf, because high openness may motivate a person to engage in intellectual pursuits, which in turn increases gc (Moutafi, Furnham, & Paltiel, 2005;Zeidner & Matthews, 2000). Finally, some recent investigations showed a negative association between conscientiousness and intelligence (Moutafi et al, 2004(Moutafi et al, , 2005, and the compensation mechanism has been proposed as an explanation for this result (von Stumm et al, 2011). In particular, it is possible that less intelligent people may compensate for their lower intellectual capacity by developing a high level of conscientiousness.…”
