In the context of the 'Two-Factor Theory of Intelligence' proposed by British psychologist Charles Spearman, which of the following characteristics best describes the prominent and fundamental nature of 'General Mental Ability' or the 'G' Factor?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Charles Spearman (1904) proposed the Two-Factor Theory of Intelligence, according to which intelligence consists of two factors—the 'G' factor (general intelligence) and the 'S' factor (specific intelligence). The 'G' factor (General Factor) is an innate, universal form of mental energy used equally in all types of intellectual tasks. In contrast, the 'S' factor (Specific Factor) is acquired, specific, and based on distinct skills.
