Abstract

The research outlined below was aimed at describing and testing the differences between informatics technology (IT) students and psychology students in interpersonal, intrapersonal and emotional intelligence. Survey research was conducted to collect data through three questionnaires on emotional, interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence. The students numbered 143 and consisted of 57 IT students and 83 psychology students. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and a t-test. Descriptive statistics showed that of the three intelligences, the two student groups showed differences in mean scores on interpersonal intelligence, while the two groups showed very little difference in intrapersonal and emotional intelligence, and so could be ignored. Based on the t-test, it was also found that the two student groups only showed differences in interpersonal intelligence, and not in the other two intelligences. © 2019 WIETE.
