Abstract

The author’s theory of human abilities is presented.  Substantial definition of abilities viewed in three dimensions — a person, subject of activity and personality — is given. The solution of actual problems of correlation between inclinations and abilities, of abilities’ position in psychic structure and of interrelations of abilities and cognitive processes are proposed.  The author argues general understanding of abilities as corresponding to other psychic categories going beyond cognitive abilities. The system of human mental traits is presented.
