Sažetak
A developmental research of the relationship between the Big-Five personality dimensions and speed of information processing (SIP) was conducted with the aim of considering the personality-intelligence relationship at the level of their components. Personality dimensions were assessed by International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) questionnaire, while SIP and related test errors (Er_SIP), were assessed by Kognitivne sposobnosti [Cognitive Abilities}; ; ; (KS2-2) pencil and paper perceptual speed test. The sample consisted of 1063 adolescents (378 males) at the age range from 14 to 18. The preliminary analyses showed that: (1) age related changes of SIP were weak and of personality dimensions barely existed, (2) modest gender differences are found for all personality dimensions except for Intellect, and they are not found for SIP and Er-SIP, (3) reduced variability and significant distribution skewness systematically appeared only at Er_SIP, and (4) personality dimensions-SIP relationship was not curvilinear. The main analyses showed that: (1) SIP had low positive correlations only with Extraversion and Agreeableness, (2) Er_SIP didn’t correlate with personality dimensions at all and (3) personality dimensions-SIP relationship mostly insignificantly depends of age and gender.
