Background. The analysis of the recent research shows the interest in the issue of intelligence. Different scholars propose different theories of intelligence but there is no consensus on this point. Various authors have established the impact of personal qualities on professional activities in which intelligence participates. The impact on professional activity lability, extraversion, aggressiveness, anxiety has been described by scientists. The question of the impact of individually-typological features on personal intelligence still remains open. The objective of this research is to study the impact of individually-typological features on the performance of intelligence. Method. On a sample of 80 participants the individual typological features such as lability, rigidity, extraversion, introversion, aggressiveness, sensitivity, spontaneity, anxiety (Sobchik, 2005) and intelligence quotient (G-factor) (Raven, 2008) were assessed. Results. The improvement of the performance of intelligence at high spontaneity, sensitivity and low extraversion, lability, rigidity was explored. The negative impact of high spontaneity, sensitivity, anxiety, aggressiveness, rigidity and low introversion on the speed of solving intellectual tasks was revealed. The indices of the dynamic of the reduction of the tasks solved and of the total performance were proposed and quantified. Conclusion. Obtained findings enable to propose the investigation of individually-typological features in professional activities.
