Ottová, Jana ; Šípek, Jiří (advisor) ; Niederlová, Markéta (referee)
Background: The purpose of the master thesis was to explore connections among artistic cre- ation and some psychological aspects of the personality of artists. Apart from differences in creativity and psychopathology in theoretical part some characteristics of personality through the theories of personality are discussed. A sample of visual art university students and university of economics students (n=49) was tested on method GPOP, which in its core is based on the Jung's theory of psychological types. Conclusions: The results of incident research support the foreign studies results and indicate that artists score higher in "Intuition", "Perceiving" and "Feeling". Other high scores were measured in "Abstraction" and "Imagination" traits. In the last part of the study the obtained results are discussed. Keywords Art, Artists, Personal Traits, Creativity

Interpersonal Check List as a Diagnostic Tool of Industrial and Organizational Psychology
Hanuš, David ; Bahbouh, Radvan (advisor) ; Svianteková, Gabriela (referee)
The aim of this paper is to verify the applicability of Interpersonal Check List for assessing managerial potential, namely leadership potential. The evolution and findings of leadership research are summarized in the theoretical part of the article. Possible effects of personality traits on leader effectivity are theoretically explained. There is evidence that these traits affect the perception of leaders. Empirical tests show that employees in leadership positions score higher in several dimensions of Interpersonal Check List, particularly in managerial - autocratic, competitive - exploitive and blunt - aggresive dimensions. The discussion of these findings leads to the conclusion that the mentioned dimensions could be considered as indicators of leadership potential. Interpersonal Check List is a valid instrument for assessing leadership potential.

Animal personality structure in offspring
JANDA, Patrik
The aim of this work was to build breeding pairs of Endler's guppy (Poecilia wingei), to determine their characteristic traits ("shy" and "bold"). Then to breed offspring from these pairs, in which the same personality traits were determined using identical procedure. Finally, the composition of personality traits observed in the offspring were evaluated, consequently, compared to their parents, their heritability was calculated. Personality traits were determined using a modified "Open Field" test (test of open environment) combined with the so-called standard emergency test (test for measuring the time required to leave the safe shelter). Based on the measured data individuals were divided into "shy" and "bold". Then they composed "shy", "bold" and combined pairs (a pair of "shy" was composed of two "shy" individuals, a pair of "bold" of two "bold" individuals and a combined pair was composed of one "shy" individual and one "bold " individual). After breeding offspring of these pairs, their personality traits ("shy" and "bold") were determined in a similar way. By evaluating the results, the heritability of these traits was calculated. Moreover, during this experiment, individual preferences and positions in the column of water were also monitored when inserted into an experimental aquarium. I also examined whether it is possible to increase the number of offspring by creating a more active ("bold") pair, a less active ("shy") pair or a combined pair.

Influence of developmental rate on behavioral personality forming
SCHMIDTMAJEROVÁ, Eva
The aim of this thesis was to empirically examine one of the theories regarding the laws of intraspecific variability in animal behavior, which assumes that differences in behavior are directly related to individual differences in the rate of growth. One of our most common rodents, common vole (Microtus arvalis) was chosen as a model species, mainly because lots of previous studies on this species have demonstrated, among other things, presence of consistent differences in behavior.
