General intelligence, temperament, and the Matching Familiar Figures Test

Abstract: To investigate the relationship between general intelligence g and temperament, highly intelligent 10-year-old children (N = 1.51) were compared with classmates of the same gender andsocio-economic status but of average intelligence (N = 134). The two ability groups were administered the Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFFT) during home visits. The parents and teachers rated the temperament of the children. The results showed a consistent pattern: highly intelligent children are more task-oriented, e.g. less d… Show more

“…Interestingly, the reaction time was found to increase with fluid intelligence. This may be attributed to a change in the level of task difficulty (a slower speed of the computer marker): individuals with higher intelligence may be more reflective and they may take more time to react under more complex test conditions, which is consistent with the findings reported by Czeschlik [21]. On the other hand, most scholars [12,18,19,22] have indicated that individuals scoring higher on intelligence exhibit shorter reaction times in choice reaction tasks.…”

“…Truszczyński et al [3] also found a significant relationship between Gf and a faster and more accurate visual tracking in a test requiring directed visual perception. In contrast to the above, Czeschlik [21] reported a negative correlation between fluid intelligence and reaction time, which was explained by the stronger reflectivity of individuals scoring higher on Gf. Still others [22] have claimed that the results of existing research have been affected by small sample sizes.…”

“…Good interpersonal relations evolve from the very first moments of life and play a special part in the intellectual development and education of gifted people (Freeman, 1994). Czeschlik's (1993) study of a group of exceptionally intelligent and moderately intelligent 10 year olds shows that, for instance, compared with moderately intelligent children, exceptionally intelligent children were more flexible in personal and social contacts. This characteristic, however, was not observed in older children.…”

“…The last finding agreed with Walczyk andHall, 1989, (as cited in Waring &Farthing, 1999). Szeschlik (1993) and Kenny (2007) showed that gifted children are more than reflective children. Hinkel (1973) and Gilbert (1977) found significant correlation between latency and creative thinking, but Bierbryer (1973) did not find out the same correlation in his study of Chinese-American children.…”
