Intelligence+and+Personality

**Intelligence and personality **  What makes me the unique person I am? Why isn’t everyone else like me? What does being intelligent mean? Does everyone think like I do? Questions such as these prompt exploration of the attributes equated with intelligence, and the traits associated with personality.  In this area of study, students explore scientific ways of describing, measuring and classifying intelligence and personality. They analyse classic and contemporary theories of intelligence and personality, including the influence of genetic and environmental factors.  They compare the research methods used in the development of these theories. Students study aspects of psychological research and may apply these to their own investigations. They consider associated ethical issues including the use of standardised psychological tests.
