The criteria of the effective functioning of the social intelligence (adequacy, adaptability, efficiency, awareness) are proposed and operationalized bythe indicators of psychodiagnostic and research methods. The results of the correlation analysis revealed that the frequency of the reflective actions’ using, especially planning, modeling and evaluation, significantly affects the level and nature of the effective functioning of the social intelligence. It is established that an activating the actions of problem modeling and own activity monitoring contributes to the formation of a more complex representation of oneself and a more critical attitude to one’s own abilities.

The reflective actions (planning, modeling and reflective analysis) determine theeffective overcoming situations’cognitive uncertainty andthe rapid orienting in new and complex circumstances. The evaluation as a reflective act contributes to the activation of the personality’s metacognitive activity, which ensures the regulation and control of cognitive and emotional processes, stimulates the reproduction of past experience.
