Introduction. The article presents the results of a study of socio-intellectual characteristics of Koreans living in Russia. The relevance of the study is due to: firstly, the development of relations between the Republic of Korea (hereinafter - the ROK) with Russia, the historical and geographical foundations of interstate alliance between the ROK and Russia, the expansion of cooperation in various fields and the demand for the Russian language among Koreans; secondly, a significant lack of scientific data on the problem of social intelligence among Koreans living on the territory of another country.Materials and methods. To study the features of the manifestation of social intelligence, the method of N.F. Kalina's “Diagnosis of Social Intelligence of Personality” (SOINT-1,2) and J. Guildford's test “Social Intelligence” were used; to assess communicative and organizational skills, the method of V.V. Sinyavsky and V.A. Fedoroshina "Communicative and organizational inclinations" (COI) was used. The survey sample of the study included 200 Koreans having stayed in Russia for less than 1 year and over 5 years, aged 20 to 46, the average age being 29 years old.Results. The comparative analysis showed the presence of significant differences in the level of social intelligence in terms of the characteristics: the ability to give up leadership, the tendency for striving to adapt to a partner, taking into account mutual likes and dislikes when selecting employees, self-control in communication, and the ability to recognize the structure of interpersonal situations in dynamics among Koreans having lived in Russia for over 5 years than Koreans having lived in Russia for less than 1 year.Discussion and Conclusions. The revealed differences in the level of social intelligence may be due to the degree of acculturation and age characteristics of respondents, which is determined by the specific features of the Korean mentality.
