Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Cattell-Horn-Carroll model uses factor analysis to separate and categorize multiple abilities that contribute to intelligence. Choice A is partially true, as they do believe in a general intelligence factor (g factor), but it is not the only concept in their model. Choice B is false, as the theorists worked separately and over a period of time to develop this theory. Choice D is also false, as the Cattell-Horn-Carroll model is not necessarily in direct opposition to Gardner and Sternberg's theories of multiple intelligences, as they both acknowledge the existence of multiple abilities contributing to intelligence.
