An analysis of theoretical and experimental approaches in psychologicalscience shows
that social intelligence is a concept that does not have a single, unambiguous interpretation.
A variety of approaches to the definition of social intelligence demonstrates the ambiguity of
its structure. The problem of social intelligence and increasing the level of its development is
of particular relevance as a professionally essential quality for professions of the “man-man”
type. Social intelligence is the ability of a person to correctly understand his behavior and the
behavior of other people in society. This ability is necessary for a person foreffective interpersonal
interaction and successful social adaptation. Social intelligence implements cognitive processes
associated with the display of a person as a partner in communication and activity. The paper
provides a theoretical overview of the key concepts (“social intelligence”, “communicative skills
of the individual” and “organizational skills of the individual”), and the main approaches and
directions for studying these concepts are given. The article also contains a brief description of
the results of an empirical study of the considered psychological phenomena among students of
the Kazakh diaspora. The results of an empirical study, the primary data of respondents’ psych
diagnostics, and the results of statistical data processing are published. Conclusions based on
the results obtained are presented.
