Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 2,701 times
Upon a deep comparative analysis of the theories of Charles Spearman, the exponent of the 'Two-Factor Theory of Intelligence', and Philip Vernon, the exponent of the 'Hierarchical Theory of Intelligence', which of the following statements most accurately defines the actual elemental and hierarchical relationships between these two models?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Charles Spearman propounded general intelligence (G-factor) and specific intelligence (S-factor) in his two-factor theory. Later, Philip Vernon presented a hierarchical theory building upon Spearman's 'G' factor, in which general intelligence ('G') is at the very top, followed by major group factors (such as verbal-educational v:ed and practical-mechanical k:m), and then successively smaller group factors and specific factors.
