Detailed Explanation
Statement 1 is correct: According to the Structure of Intellect (SOI) model proposed by J.P. Guilford, intelligence is the intersection of three dimensions (Operations, Contents, and Products). Originally it had 5 x 4 x 6 = 120 abilities, which were later revised to 180. Statement 2 is correct: Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences (1983, Frames of Mind) emphasizes a multiplicity of independent intelligences, including musical, naturalist, and interpersonal intelligences. Statement 3 is incorrect: In Guilford's model, 'Divergent Thinking' is placed under the 'Operations' dimension, not under Contents; moreover, Gardner's theory fully respects creativity and various abilities.
