ABSTRACT

In this article, the relationship between mental abilities and leadership characteristics of students, and the mastery of

subjects in the curriculum is studied. Also, based on the results obtained in the research, conclusions were drawn up

with the help of statistical analysis.

KEYWORDS

Ability, intelligence, creativity, memory, will, thinking, divergent thinking, literacy.

INTRODUCTION

In the world, such characteristics as intellectual

potential, ability, creativity, and knowledge are the

basis of the economy. Humanity was created in such a

way that these features have become one of the most

urgent issues of the economic and social life of the

state. The level of spiritual, moral, mental, intellectual

and professional potential of each country's citizens is

a comprehensive indicator of society, determines its

political, economic, social and cultural stability, and is

considered the main core of professional success as a

specialist. In the era of globalization, priority is given to

"identifying young people with high mental abilities,

supporting them with the help of a systematic

program", and the feeling of pride in one's homeland,

urgent issues today. remains. In this regard, the

problem of individual creativity is the problem of the

century, the ability and concepts close to it (talent,

talent, talent, genius, ability, inclination, interest,

desire) are recognized as a strategic reserve of every

state and society, and the need for scientific research

of this problem is occurring.

In recent years, consistent measures have been

implemented in our republic to support promising

young people, to realize their talents, to create

additional conditions for effective scientific research

and innovation activities . This creates opportunities to

find new theoretical solutions aimed at defining the

professional success and direction of students by

determining their mental abilities with the help of

special diagnostic methods adapted to the national

mentality.

During our research, 247 students with a sharp mind, a

deep memory, organizationally active, creative

thinkers, and divergent thinking were selected from

among 3190 students through the sociometry of

intelligence. When we studied the correlation between

the results of these students and the mastery of

subjects, a strong positive correlation was found

between them (r=-0.19, p<0.01). It can be concluded

that the students selected as "stars" of each group do

not have any difficulties in mastering academic

subjects.

During the study, when we analyzed the test subjects

by gender, there was no statistically significant

female test subjects (t=0.7; df=244). From this result, it

can be seen that the gender difference does not play a

major role in being selected as the "star" of the group

A statistically significant difference was reliably found in the sociometry of intelligence indicators of learning subjects

(t=2.4; df=224). From these obtained results, it can be concluded that the indicators of learning subjects are reflected

in the results of sociometric intelligence (Table 2). That is, students who learn subjects for five grades are rated higher

by the group members than students who learn subjects for four grades.

It can be seen that if the students have high intelligence indicators, the indicators of mastering the subjects of the

curriculum are also high. In the course of our research, the literacy indicators of students with highly developed mental

abilities, classified as gifted, were studied. 219 examinees took part in it (246 examinees passed the first stage, 219 of

them participated in the second stage due to some reasons). Based on the results obtained from the participants in

From this table, we can see that there is a statistically strong positive correlation between the "100 words" and "50

sentences" methods (r=0.4, p<0.001). It can be concluded that these two tests help to obtain reliable results in

scientific research carried out as a complementary method (Table 3).

In the course of our research, we studied the results of the "Literacy test" of the test takers, the indicator of students'

mastery of subjects, and their correlation to the results of sociometric methods of intelligence.

We can see from this table that there is a positive correlation between the general result of the "Literacy test" and

the indicators of students' mastery of subjects (r=0.162, p<0.05). That is, if the student's literacy level is high, it will be

easier for him to learn subjects. So, talented people who are able to understand the difference between written and

spoken words, pay attention to spelling mistakes and punctuation marks in sentences, also achieve good results in

mastering subjects (Table 4).

Also, when we studied the dependence of the "100 words" and "50 sentences" tests, which are part of the "Literacy

test", on the indicator of learning subjects, it was found that there is a positive correlation between them. In particular,

it was found that there is a positive correlation between "100 words" and students' mastery index (r=0.144, p<0.05).

It was found that there is a positive correlation between the "50 sentences" test and the students' mastery index

(r=0.136, p>0.05). In this case, although the "50 sentences" test did not reach the same level of confidence as the "100

words" test, in any case, a tendency towards a close association in the positive direction was observed.

There was no correlation between the results of the "literacy test" and sociometric intelligence (r=-0.08, p>0.05).

Through the sociometry of intelligence, the group selected students who demonstrated prominent characteristics,

including strong memory, sharp intelligence, organization, creativity, self-motivation, self-control, and interpersonal

skills, but not literacy. Some students may be highly literate but may not have demonstrated this ability to the

community. Taking into account these aspects, the correlation relationship may not be reflected in the results

obtained by these two methods.

In order to study the gender differences of the 219 subjects who participated in our research at this stage, we divided

them into two groups, male and female. The first group consisted of 103 male subjects, the second group consisted

of 116 female subjects. Student's t-test was used to determine the level of statistical reliability in their literacy levels

(Table 5).

From this table, we can see that the scores of male

subjects on the "100 words" test range from 64 to 237

points, and most of the results are in the middle range

of 171.5±35.5. The indices of asymmetry and kurtosis

were close to 0 (-0.76 and 0.28). This result indicates

that this series of numbers conforms to the law of

normal distribution.

Female test scores ranged from 328 out of 95 points,

with most results in the middle range of 192.3±33.9.

The asymmetry indicator is close to 0 (-0.04), and the

kurtosis indicates that the distribution is very "sharp-

edged".

When we determined the differences between the

results of the "100 words" test of male and female

subjects using the Student's t-test, a 99.9 percent

reliable difference was found between their mean

arithmetic values (t=-4.4, p<0.001). That is, women are

better at identifying spelling mistakes in words than

men. Therefore, they have better developed logical

thinking, such as literacy, the ability to clearly and

correctly express one's thoughts using written speech.

According to this table, we can see that the scores of

male examinees on the "50 sentences" test range from

44 to 156 points, and the average score of the main

indicators is around 92.5±23.7. Also, the asymmetry

and kurtosis indices are close to 0 (0.23 and 0.07),

indicating that these indices completely correspond to

the normal distribution of the given number series.

Female test scores ranged from 48 to 158 points, with

most results in the middle range of 100.8±22.1. The

asymmetry and kurtosis indicators are close to 0 (-0.21

and -0.17), indicating that these indicators completely

correspond to the normal distribution of the given

series of numbers.

When we determined the differences between the

results of the "50 sentences" test of male and female

subjects using the Student's t-test, a 99.9 percent

reliable difference was found between their mean

arithmetic values (t=-2.7, p<0.01). That is, women are

better at correcting spelling errors, punctuation marks,

and using sentences in their place than men. Therefore,

they have better developed logical thinking, such as

literacy, the ability to clearly and correctly express

one's thoughts using written speech.

We can see that according to the general indicators of

the "literacy test", the indicators of the male

examinees range from 144 to 393 points, and the

average indicator of the main indicators is around

263.96±49.2. Also, the asymmetry and kurtosis indices

are close to 0 (-0.04 and -0.07), indicating that these

indices completely correspond to the normal

distribution of the given numbers.

The results of the female examinees on the Literacy

Test ranged from 169 to 413 points, and most of the

results were in the middle range of 293.07±46.8. The

indicators of asymmetry and kurtosis are close to 0 (-

0.26 and 0.01), indicating that these indicators

completely correspond to the law of normal

distribution of the given series of numbers.

When we determined the difference between the

overall results of the "Literacy test" of male and female

test takers using Student's t-test, a 99.9% reliable

difference was found between their mean arithmetic

values (t=-4.5, p<0.001). It has been statistically proven

that women have higher levels of literacy than men in

terms of the general indicator.

We came to the following conclusions from the above

experimental tests:

-

The students selected as the "star" of each group

using the method of intelligence sociometry

"Selection of talented students" can easily master

the subjects of the curriculum.

-

gender difference does not play a major role in

being recognized as a "star" of the group

according to the sociometry of intelligence.

-

Two tests ("100 words" and "50 sentences")

included in the "literacy test" help to obtain

reliable results in scientific research as a

complementary method.

-

those who are able to understand the differences

between written and spoken words, pay attention

to spelling mistakes and punctuation marks in

sentences, also achieve good results in mastering

subjects.

-

it indicates that women are better able to identify

spelling mistakes in words than men, they have

better developed logical thinking, such as literacy,
