In the context of the 'Hierarchical Theory of Intelligence', according to the model proposed by psychologist Philip Vernon, human intelligence is divided into various levels. Which of the following are included in the two major group factors found at the second level, immediately below the 'general factor' (g-factor) in this hierarchy?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Philip Vernon proposed the Hierarchical Theory of Intelligence in 1950. In his model, intelligence is organized into multiple levels:
- Top Level: General factor (g-factor).
- Second Level (Major Group Factors): Divided into two primary groups: (1) Verbal-Educational (or Verbal-Numerical) and (2) Spatial-Mechanical (or Spatial-Practical).
- Third and Fourth Levels: Minor group factors and specific factors (s-factors).
Therefore, option (a) is the correct answer.
