Abstract
Present study was conducted to explore the personality and intellectual correlates of wisdom, for which 200 Secondary School Students (ranging in age from 14 to 16 years with mean age of 15) were selected from various Secondary Schools of Kurukshetra district of Haryana. Data were collected by administrating 3D-wisdom scale, High School Personality Questionnaire (HSPQ), Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices, Hundal General Mental Ability Test. Data were analysed by using Descriptive Statistics (Mean, Sd, Sk, Ku), Pearson's Correlations and Principal Component Factor Analysis. Results revealed that cognitive wisdom has correlated positively with factor B, G and H and negatively with D and O. Affective wisdom has correlated positively with factor C,G,I and Q3 and negatively with D, E and Q4. Reflective wisdom has marked positive association with factor B,C,G and H and negative with D and Q4. Fluid Intelligence (gf) did not mark significant relationship with any of the three components of wisdom whereas gc has marked positive association with all the three components of wisdom. Overall findings revealed that three components of wisdom are differentially related to personality factors indexed by HSPQ. Factors B, D, G & H of HSPQ have emerged the common personality correlates of all the three components of wisdom. The relationship between intelligence and wisdom depicts the more proximity of wisdom with crystallized intelligence than fluid intelligence, gf & gc combindely have been found relatively more close to cognitive wisdom than other components of wisdom.
