Summary/Abstract: Methodological awareness is one of the forms of social consciousness. It is considered one of the basic regulators of scientific research activities. Despite the abundance of theoretical deliberation over the structure of methodological awareness in literature, little attention is devoted to individual qualities of researchers who can be studied for displaying correlates of methodological awareness. One of the potential areas for such studies are cognitive variables which should be understood as mind types which determine human cognitive preferences in two dimensions: perception vs. intuition and feelings vs. thinking. Personality, considered to be the basic regulator of human activity, is yet another field where correlations of methodological awareness can be researched. The author presents the results of her study in which she searched for hypothetical correlates of methodological awareness.
