Abstract

Within the framework of the conducted research, an attempt to study the relationship between cognitive and personal characteristics and the success of solving two types of problematic tasks: “scientific” and “artistic” content is made. 20 people took part in the study (80 protocols were processed). Two stages were carried out in this study – diagnostic and experimental. As for the diagnostic part, the features of the cognitive and personal characteristics of the participants were studied. The following techniques were used to study cognitive characteristics: “Raven’s Progressive Matrices” and the “Complex Analogies” technique. To study personal characteristics, we used: the questionnaire “SAMOAL” (the method of A.V. Lazukin adapted by N.F. Kalin) and the “Emotional Intelligence Test” by D.V. Lyusin. As for the experimental part of the study, participants were asked to solve 4 problematic tasks: “immeasurable vessel” and “universal cork” – based on scientific content and “gooseberry” and “over-salted” – based on artistic content. As for the results of the study, a positive relationship between autosympathy and the success of solving a problem of scientific content, and also between understanding one’s own and others’ emotions and the success of solving problematic tasks of artistic content was established; a negative relationship between the need for cognition and the success of solving artistic tasks was also established. No connection with cognitive characteristics was found.
