psychodiagnostic technique created by J. Guilford on the basis of his own model of the structure of intelligence. The technique is a battery of standardized tests aimed at diagnosing various aspects of one of the most interesting mental phenomena – social intelligence, that is, the ability to understand and predict people’s behavior in different everyday situations, to recognize intentions, feelings and emotional states of a person by non-verbal and verbal expression. The method includes four subtests, three of which are based on non-verbal stimulus material and one on verbal stimulus. Subtests diagnose four abilities in the structure of social intelligence: cognition of classes, systems, transformations and results of behavior.
