The lateral profile of children 7-8 years old with different level of non-verbal and emotional intelligence
The purpose of the study was to investigate the lateral profiles of boys and girls with different levels of nonverbal and emotional intelligence. The study involved 71 children aged 7-8 years, 36 boys and 35 girls. We used the following methods: M Luscher Test in the adaptation by Filimonenko (used prior to testing and at the end of it); Test J. Guildford adapted by J.I. Mikhailova; Standard progressive matrices by J. Raven; the profile of functional sensori-motor asymmetry. It was discovered that general and nonverbal intelligence is within the age norm. In children with left profile, general intelligence is higher than in the children of other groups. Children with the right profile have a higher intelligence than children with a mixed profile. Emotional intelligence in all children regardless of the profile is approximately at the same level. There is no connection between the level of General and nonverbal intelligence and level of emotional intelligence.
