What are the different theories of intelligence
Spearman’s Two Factor Theory Thurstone’s Seven Factor Theory Cattell’s Theory Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence
What theorist theorized that a general intelligence factor (g) underlies other, more specific aspects of intelligence
Charles Spearman
True or false, according to Spearman there is dominant S factor, and lesser ability g factor
False, It is the other way around
What theorist theorised that Intelligence is a cluster of 7 primary abilities. Each independent from the other.
Louis L. Thurstone
What the 7 theories of intelligence according to Louis L. Thurstone
Verbal comprehension, verbal fluency, numerical ability, spatial visualization, inductive reasoning, perceptual speed, memory, deductive reasoning and problem solving ability.

Existential
What type of intelligence involves the ability to perceive, express, understand, and regulate emotions
Emotional
What theory is the Author of a Triarchic theory of multiple intelligences consisting of of 3 mental abilities
Robert Sternberg
What are Sternberg’s types of intelligence
Analytic, Practical
Creative
What type of Sternberg intelligence involves : Trying to solve familiar problems by using strategies that manipulate the elements of a problem or the relationship among the elements (e.g., comparing, analyzing)
Analytical
What type of Sternberg intelligence involves : Trying to solve new kinds of problems that require us to think about the problem and its elements in a new way (e.g., inventing, designing)
Experimental
What type of Sternberg intelligence involves : Trying to solve problems that apply what we know to everyday contexts (e.g., applying, using)
Contextual/Practical
What is involved in the 1st battery of test according to Francis Galton
Sensory and motor measures
Height, weight, hand length, head breadth, arm span, length of middle finger, strength of hand squeeze, vital capacity of lungs, highest audible tone, reaction time
What kind of Intelligence test involves:

Recognizes the difference between a square of chocolate and a square of wood.
Finds and eats a square of chocolate wrapped in paper.
Points to familiar named objects, e.g., “Show me the cup.”
Names objects in pictures, e.g., “What is this?”
Repeats three spoken digits.
Defines common words by function.
Repeats a sentence of 15 words.
Tells how two common objects are different, e.g., “paper and cardboard.”
15. Responds to 25 abstract (comprehension) questions, e.g., “When a person has offended you, and comes to offer his apologies, what should you do?”
