Abstract

The work is devoted to the social intelligence as the psychological characteristics of the individual and his professional competence by vocational training in the sphere of «human-human». The purpose of this paper to present the results of studies of prognostic features of social intelligence of students who have chosen the specialty psychology.

We used the method of «Social Intelligence» G. Guilford and O. Sullivan and method of expert assessments. Because the subjects were students, considered the success of their training activities as paraprofessionals, by comparing their session grades and expert evaluations of the success of their learning activities.

The findings suggest that for the psychologists the social intelligence is not a single criterion of suitability, and has a certain differentiation. Academic psychologists (Masters) is more typical sensitivity to verbal reactions, because the basis of verbal responses is the word. Applied Psychology (professionals) suggests sensitivity to nonverbal reactions as practical psychology is focused on the direct interaction of man-man.

Diagnosis of specified range of professionally important qualities of the psychologist can be used to predict the success of the education and training of future psychologists.
