The purpose of this research was to scrutinize social intelligence in relation to demographics variables including gender, background, and age. A total of sixty undergraduate students in a selected public university in Bangkok were selected as a sample for data collection and asked to complete a survey questionnaire. An instrument for scale measurement in this study was a modified version of Tromsø Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS). Findings demonstrated that the overall social intelligence among undergraduate students was at a moderate level, and social skills sub-scale of social intelligence was rated as the highest dimension. Analysis of independent samples t-test indicated no significant differences in social intelligence according to gender, background, and age. Nevertheless, results found a significant difference in social information process between students with different groups of age indicating that students aged above 25 years old had more social information process than students aged between 18-25 years old.
