| 總結: | A total sample of 306 DLSU students were asked to participate in the study which sought to identify the perceived characteristics of an intelligent person. Using purposive sampling design, the researchers assigned the students to one of the four groups-academically successful, leader academically successful, non-leader insufficiently academically successful, leader and insufficiently academically successful, non-leader groups. This was determined from the students' responses on the information questionnaire. Afterwards, a survey form was answered by each student that asks them to rate each item in the survey, from a range of 1, being a characteristic extremely important of an intelligent person. The 20 most and the 10 least important characteristics across all the groups were listed. Seventy-five statements in the survey were factor analyzed using rotated factor analysis. This yielded 6 factors, namely, awareness, cognitive flexibility, think-ability, conventionality, maturity, and goal-directedness. Results also showed that among the 6 factors mentioned, only 3 factors best describe an intelligent person: aware, able to process and integrate information, and directed by goals. |
