Statement of the problem. The article presents an overview of theoretical and experimental studies of personality intellectual features in the adaptation process, and the authors’ views on the influence of personality intellectual features on the success of adaptation. The purpose of the article is to identify intellectual features of university students’ personality, which can largely determine the success of their adaptation to studying at a higher educational institution. Materials and methods. The research methodology is based on the concept of B.G. Ananyev, J. Piaget and other Russian and foreign scientists, according to whom the internal personality features, in particular, intellectual characteristics, mediate its adaptation. The study involved 102 students of the Krasnoyarsk Institute of Railway Transport, both successfully adapted to studying at the higher educational institution, and experiencing difficulties in the process of adaptation. The intellectual features of the students’ personality were diagnosed using the 16Pf Kettell technique. Research results. The study showed that the symptom complex of intellectual features, including factors B, M, N, and Q1 in the factor structure of personality identified by R. Kettell, has differences in students with different levels of adaptation. Thus, it was found that the indicators of factors B and N were significantly higher and the indicators of factors M and Q1 were significantly lower in highly adapted students compared to low-adapted students within the symptom complex of intellectual features (the reliability of differences was determined by the Mann-Whitney U-criterion). Conclusion. Considering the intellectual features of the students’ personality, we relied on the factor structure of R. Kettel personality, according to which the following factors are included in the symptom complex of intellectual features of a person: B (intelligence), M (dreaminess), N (flexibility), Q1 (receptivity to the new). The study showed that the intellectual characteristics of students of different levels of adaptability to studying at a higher educational institution differ from each other by the severity and combination of individual factors included in this symptom complex.
