Identification of two essential features. Generalized results from the questionnaire “identifying essential features” of students. Stimulus material and equipment
Methodology "Identification of essential features"
Purpose: the technique is used for research
features of thinking, ability to differentiate
essential features of objects or phenomena from
insignificant, secondary. The nature
distinguished characteristics can be judged on the predominance
one or another style of thinking: specific or
abstract.
Material: blank with rows printed on it
words Each row consists of five words in brackets and
one - before the brackets.
The test is suitable for examining adolescents and
adults. The words in the problems are chosen in such a way that
the examinee must demonstrate his
the ability to grasp the abstract meaning of certain
concepts and abandon the easier ones that rush into
eyes, but the wrong method of solution in which instead
significant ones, particular ones are highlighted, specifically -
situational signs.
Instructions for children and adolescents: "Here are given
series of words that make up tasks. In each
there is one word in the line before the brackets, and 5 in the brackets
words to choose from. You need to choose from these five words
only two that are most closely related to
the word before the brackets is “garden”, and the words in the brackets are:
"plants, gardener, dog, fence, earth." The garden can
exist without a dog, a fence and even without a gardener,
but without soil and plants there can be no garden. Means
You should choose exactly 2 words - “earth” and “plants”.
Instructions for adults: "In every line
form you will find one word before the brackets,
and then - five words in brackets. All words in
parentheses have something to do with what comes before
parentheses. Select only two that are in
greatest connection with the word before the brackets.

Methodology "Identification of essential features"
Target: the technique is used to study the characteristics of thinking, the ability to differentiate the essential features of objects or phenomena from unimportant, secondary ones. By the nature of the distinguished features, one can judge the predominance of one or another style of thinking: concrete or abstract.
Material: a form with a series of words printed on it. Each row consists of five words in brackets and one before the brackets.
The test is suitable for examining adolescents and adults. The words in the tasks are selected in such a way that the subject must demonstrate his ability to grasp the abstract meaning of certain concepts and abandon the easier, more conspicuous, but incorrect method of solution in which private, concrete situational features are highlighted instead of essential ones.

Key to the test
Interpretation of test results
The presence of more erroneous judgments indicates the predominance of a concrete-situational style of thinking over an abstract-logical one. If the subject gives incorrect answers at first, but then corrects them, then this can be interpreted as haste and impulsiveness.
The results are assessed using the table.
Methodology “Identification of essential features”
Target: study of the operation of abstraction, the ability to differentiate essential features of objects or phenomena from unimportant, secondary ones.
Stimulus material and equipment.
A form with a series of words printed on it. Each row consists of five words in brackets and one before the brackets. Protocol for recording the subject's answers, pen.
Progress.
The subject is presented with the text of the method and asked to establish a connection between the word in front of the brackets and the words in brackets, choosing from the latter those that best reflect the meaning of the first word.
The words in the problems are selected in such a way that the subject must demonstrate his ability to grasp the abstract meaning of certain concepts and refuse the easier, more obvious, but incorrect method of solution, in which instead
Particular, specific situational characteristics are identified as significant.
After independently completing the tasks, the test subject’s decisions should be discussed by asking him clarifying questions. Often during the discussion, the subject makes additional judgments and corrects mistakes.
All decisions, questions, as well as additional judgments of the subject are recorded in the protocol.
Instructions to the subject.
Instructions for children:“Here are given a series of words that make up the tasks. In each line there is one word before the brackets, and in the brackets there are 5 words to choose from. From these five words, you need to choose only two that are most closely related to the word in front of the brackets. For example, the word before the brackets is “garden”, and in the brackets are the words: “plants, gardener, dog, fence, earth.” A garden can exist without a dog, a fence, and even without a gardener, but there cannot be a garden without soil and plants. This means that you should choose exactly these 2 words – “earth” and “plants.”

For each correct answer (two words are indicated correctly), the subject is assigned 1 point. 0.5 points corresponds to one correctly chosen word and 0 points when the subject could not choose a single word correctly.
The maximum number of points is 20. Results of less than 10 points are assessed as unsatisfactory, indicating the inability of the subject to compare, analyze and generalize the selected characteristics.
The presence of more erroneous judgments indicates the predominance of a concrete-situational style of thinking over an abstract-logical one. If the subject gives incorrect answers at first, but then corrects them, then this can be interpreted as haste and impulsiveness.
