| Sumario: | The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between intelligence, personality and the extent of general and current information of students in the state of Minas Gerais. Two sample groups participated. The first was composed of students from three socially vulnerable levels from the city of Belo Horizonte (n=600), and the second group came from public schools in the city of Perdões (n=215). The Raven’sProgressive Matrices Test and a General Information Questionnaire were applied for both samples. In addition, the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and the WISC-III Information test were applied to the second sample. The results indicated a consistent relationship between intelligence and General Information Questionnaire, even after smoothing the effect of the social vulnerability of the schools (r=0.431). A pathanalysis showed an independent effect of intelligence (r=0.430) and of the Psychoticism dimension (-0.18) on the General Information Questionnaire, even after the smoothing of age and co-variance between predictors. It may be concluded that intelligence explains GeneralInformation Questionnaire differences twice as much as does personality. |
