Sažetak
Studies in various cultures showed existence of gender differences in estimating own and parental intelligence. This is the first study in the field in the Croatian culture and using the twins as raters’. The goal of this study was to explore the raters’ and targets’ gender differences in self-and parental assessments of intelligence on the sample of Croatian twins, as well as twins’ agreement in parental assessments. Twins were asked to assess their own and their parents’ overall intelligence, as well as multiple Gardner’s intelligences, on a normal distribution with a mean of 100 and six standard deviations (– 3 to +3). In total, 518 participants provided data on self-assessed intelligence and 483 provided valid data of parents’ intelligence estima-tions.Male participants gave higher self- assessments on overall intelligence, logical- mathematical, body-kinesthetic and spa-tial abilities. There were no significant gender effects on other abilities. The twins’ agreement on assessment of parental intelligence was substantial. Intraclass correlations for the overall intelligence assessments of fathers and mothers were .64, and .54, respectively, while the median correlations for assessments of multiple intelligences were .49. Fathers were estimated higher on overall intelligence, logical-mathematical, body-kinesthetic and spatial abilities, while mothers were estimated higher on interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence. The gender effect of the rater was found for overall intelligence andinter-and intra-personal intelligences, where male raters’ gave higher estimates than female raters’. Raters’ and targets’ gender differences in self and parental assessments of intelligence were found. In line with previous findings, males tend togive themselves and their parents higher estimates on overall intelligence and some specific abilities. Estimations of parental intelligence showed existence of stereotypes about more masculine and more feminine abilities. Twins agree in estimating intelligence of their parents.
