Dear Students of Electrical and Information Engineering,

My name is Katharina Koch, and I am studying Psychology at TU Chemnitz. For my master's thesis, I am looking for participants for a study that investigates the interplay of personality traits, intelligence, and academic performance. The goal is to find out to what extent personality can compensate for a lower IQ.

The study consists of an intelligence test (40 minutes) and an online survey (15 minutes). The sessions will take place from January 8 to 22, 2025, at Wilhelm-Rabe Straße 43, Room 4/037. You can participate if you are between 18 and 30 years old, speak German well, and are a student.

There are vouchers to be won (1x €50, 2x €20, 1x €10) for every 100 participants. Just sign up with your email address (it will remain anonymous) and invite your friends: Participation Link.

I look forward to your participation! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Best regards,
Katharina Koch
