碩士 === 東海大學 === 企業管理學系碩士班 === 107 === Personal Intelligence, is a new concept that related to Intelligence that proposed by John D. Mayer. Some past research suggests that personal intelligence may also be useful in addition to the multiple intelligence model. In personal interaction, we need to understand others’ personality and emotions then behave appropriately with them, which is not the same as existent theoretical entities. It has been argued that predicting others’ behaviour, identifying others’ emotion, and solving abstract puzzle are similar in intelligence model. However, empirical evidence and conceptual framework are still needed in order to be included in multiple intelligence model. This study is also intended to examine the impact of culture towards personal intelligence, as well as gender, age, education, and occupation. Research sample in this study was from Indonesian people in Javanese culture and Chinese culture. A survey with questionnaire was used to collect data. In order to verify new concept, SPSS 22.0 is utilized to conduct multiple-regression analysis respectively. The results showed that culture did not exert a significant effect on personal intelligence. However, the demographic variables, age and education, have an impact on personal intelligence.
