Intelligence: Concept & Theories
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 2,405 times
Upon deeply analyzing various theories of intelligence—such as Spearman's Two-Factor Theory, Thurstone's Group Factor Theory, and Guilford's Structure of Intellect Model—if a psychologist believes that intelligence is merely a set of primary mental abilities that are independent of one another, and further, according to Guilford's model, intellectual processes are divided into a total of 150 or 180 independent factors under a three-dimensional matrix of Operations, Contents, and Products, which of the following statements is most authentically true in the context of this entire theoretical landscape?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
L.L. Thurstone, in his 'Group Factor Theory', challenged Spearman's notion of the General Intelligence Factor (G-Factor) and postulated that intelligence is not based on a single general factor, but is a group of several independent Primary Mental Abilities (PMAs) such as spatial ability, word fluency, numerical ability, etc. Additionally, J.P. Guilford, in his 'Structure of Intellect Model', classified intelligence under three dimensions: operations, contents, and products.
