✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Thorndike divided intelligence into three main categories under his multi-factor theory: Abstract Intelligence, Concrete or Mechanical Intelligence, and Social Intelligence. Among these, 'Abstract Intelligence' is the mental capacity that helps in understanding words, numbers, symbols, formulas, and high-level theoretical ideas, and solving problems through them.
