According to L.L. Thurstone's Group Factor Theory of Intelligence, mental abilities are divided into several Primary Mental Abilities. Which of the following abilities is not included among Thurstone's seven primary factors?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
L.L. Thurstone proposed the Group Factor Theory of intelligence, suggesting that intelligence is a cluster of independent primary mental abilities. The seven primary factors identified by Thurstone are:
- Word Fluency
- Spatial Ability
- Numerical Ability
- Associative Memory
- Perceptual Speed
- Verbal Comprehension
- Reasoning
Motivational Adaptive Capacity is not one of Thurstone's primary mental abilities, making option B the correct answer.

With reference to the Structure of Intellect (SOI) theory of intelligence, consider the following statements: 1. The three-dimensional model of the Structure of Intellect was propounded by J.P. Guilford, who classified mental abilities into three independent dimensions: Contents, Operations, and Products. 2. According to Guilford's initial model, intelligence consisted of a total of 4×5×6 = 120 independent intellectual factors, which was later revised and expanded to a total of 150 and ultimately 180 factors. 3. Under this theory, the 'Contents' dimension includes mental materials such as symbolic, semantic, behavioral, and figural, upon which the operations of the mind act. Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?

Regarding child development, consider the following statements concerning the 'Two-Factor Theory of Intelligence' and the 'Group Factor Theory': 1. According to the 'Two-Factor Theory' proposed by Charles Spearman, two types of mental energies operate in every mental activity - the 'general factor' (g-factor) which is innate and universal, and the 'specific factor' (s-factor) which is acquired and varies for different tasks. 2. According to L.L. Thurstone's 'Group Factor Theory' (Primary Mental Abilities Theory), intelligence does not depend on a single general factor, but is a group of seven major primary mental abilities (such as verbal comprehension, spatial relations, numerical ability, etc.). 3. Spearman used the statistical technique of 'Factor Analysis' in support of his theory, and according to him, the 's-factor' is most dominant in the execution of high-level intellectual tasks, while the 'g-factor' has no special contribution. Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?
