Student Innovativeness as Manifestation of Subjectivity

Abstract

The urgency of the problem is caused by the fact that the creation of innovation and
innovation environment in all sectors of the economy and people's lives puts forward
special demands to each individual, the society in general and the quality of education
and skills of personnel. The paper describes the results of the study of the hierarchy of
values, personality traits according to Cattell and the locus of control among students
with a high level of innovativeness. As an approach to the evaluation of innovativeness,
the concept of M. Kirton was used. As a result of the research, it was revealed that
individuals with high innovative activity are characterized by the internal locus of control
and a set of basic values that differs from the set of basic values of a creative personality
and it represents by itself a combination of such values as independence, stimulation,
hedonism and power.
