Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carla Sharp's research into personality disorders and the concept of general (g) and specific (s) factors is analogous to discussions of g and s in the context of intelligence. In intelligence research, "g" refers to general intelligence that influences performance across various cognitive tasks, while "s" refers to specific abilities in narrow domains. Sharp's work suggests a similar framework could apply to understanding personality disorders, where there might be general factors affecting overall personality functioning and specific factors related to particular disorders.
