Conceptualization and operationalization of social intelligence is related to discussions, which is connected to several areas of issues. In the article we present the results of an analysis of the extracted factor structure of the original MESI methodology which represents the psychometric approach to the investigation and measurement of social intelligence. The results of the research, which was carried out on the sample of 2135 respondents enabled to extract the structure factors of the MESI methodology (manipulation, empathy and social irritability). These factors explain 47% of variance. Other psychometric parameters of the MESI methodology, as well as the complete version of MESI methodology, are described in the article. The paper also presents a comparison of the preferences of the individual factors of social intelligence.
The report presents the results of the verification of the original methodology MESI – Measuring Social Intelligence and its validation study. The data for verification of the factor structure of the MESI methodology were gained from 2135 respondents and the validation study with the TSIS methodology (Tromso Social Intelligence Scale) was carried out on the sample of 1130 respondents. Subsequently, the data which were based on the usage of the MESI and TSIS methodologies were analysed in relation to the selected characteristics of male and female managers. The acquired results confirm the fact that the managers evaluated themselves more positively in the factors of empathy, manipulation, social information processing, social skills and social awareness.
