✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Explanation of Difference
Charles Spearman proposed in his Two-Factor Theory that intelligence consists of a general factor (g-factor) and several specific factors (s-factors) which are involved in various mental operations. In contrast, Howard Gardner argued through his Theory of Multiple Intelligences that intelligence is not a single general entity, but rather consists of multiple, relatively autonomous intellectual faculties (such as linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, etc.).
