Positive correlations between scores on several very different mental tests support:
A)Gardner's multiple intelligences theory
B)Sternberg's triarchic theory of intelligence
C)Cattell's concept of crystallized and fluid intelligence
D)Spearman's two-factor theory of intelligence

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spearman's two-factor theory of intelligence proposes that there is a general factor, known as g, that underlies all mental abilities, as well as specific factors that are unique to each test. As a result, positive correlations between scores on different tests support this theory. The other options (A, B, and C) focus on more specific aspects of intelligence, but do not encompass the broad range of mental abilities measured in different tests.
