According to Charles Spearman's Two-Factor Theory of Intelligence, which of the following psychological statements is most authentic and scientifically valid regarding the true psychological implications and classroom teaching in relation to the central concept of 'General Intelligence or g-factor'—defined as a universal, innate, and immutable mental energy that remains equally active in all types of intellectual tasks, logical problems, and cognitive activities?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Spearman's Two-Factor Theory
According to Charles Spearman's Two-Factor Theory of Intelligence, intellectual activities involve two main factors: 'General Intelligence' (g-factor) and 'Specific Factor' (s-factor).
- g-factor: It represents innate and universal mental energy, which plays a fundamental role in solving any type of intellectual, logical, or cognitive problem.
- s-factor: It is related to specific abilities required for particular tasks, such as music, art, or mathematics.
Therefore, option (b) most accurately explains the psychological implication of this concept.
