Abstract

The aim of the present study is to investigate thinking styles at the interface between personality traits andintelligence. A total of 266 students in Germany and Austria completed the Thinking Styles Inventory forGerman-Speaking Samples (TSI-GER), the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) and the Intelligence-StructureTest 2000 R (I-S-T 2000 R). Structural equation modelling was applied to investigate whether thinking stylesmediate the relationship between personality traits and intelligence. The results indicate that styles do not work as aninterface between personality and intelligence, which suggests that styles represent a “stand-alone” learningprerequisite.
