While conducting a comparative and philosophical analysis of Spearman's Two-Factor Theory of Intelligence and Guilford's Structure of Intellect Model, which of the following statements is most appropriate and psychologically valid regarding Spearman's 'General Factor' (G-Factor) and Guilford's 'Cognitive Dimensions'?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Charles Spearman proposed the 'Two-Factor Theory' of intelligence in 1904, according to which every intellectual activity involves a General Factor (G-Factor) and a Specific Factor (S-Factor). In contrast, J.P. Guilford presented the 'Structure of Intellect Model', dividing intelligence into three dimensions—Operations, Contents, and Products—forming a matrix of independent cells. Therefore, option A accurately describes both theories.
