Intelligence testing has a history of controversy, but most psychologists now view
intelligence as a normally distributed trait that can be measured by
performance on a variety of tasks.
Some psychologists believe that intelligence comprises one general factor, g, while
others believe that intelligence is a collection of distinct abilities.
1. Psychometric Theories of Intelligence
Spearman’s g Factor
Cattell’s Fluid and Crystallized Intelligence
2. Cognitive Theories of Intelligence
Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory
Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence
3. Cultural Definitions of Intelligence
to understand and cooperate with people of diverse heritage, need to resist the impulse to
impose own definition of “intelligence” on others
g factor the ability to reason and solve problems, or general intelligence.
s factor the ability to excel in certain areas, or specific intelligence.
Assumed that this general factor g is innate
Cattell’s Fluid and Crystallized Intelligence
Fluid intelligence (Gf)
Ability to see complex relationship, to reason and solve novel problems.
Often measured by tests of block design and spatial visualization
Crystalized intelligence (Gc)
knowledge person acquired
the ability to use previous skills, knowledge, and experience to solve problems.
Measured by tests of vocab, arithmetic and general information
1. Practical intelligence ( “ street-smart”)
Ability to cope and adapt to environment
Self-awareness of own strength and limits is an important component
2. Analytical intelligence
Abilities measured by most IQ tests, includes ability to analyse problem and find correct answer
3. Creative intelligence
Help develop new ideas and discover new relationship among concepts; related to insight and
creativity
4. Wisdom
Relatively new
Using one’s intelligence toward a common good rather than selfish pursuit
Wisdom is one predictor of well-being in later life ( Bianchi, 1994; Hartman, 2000).
Theory suggest each intelligence is independent of each other; inaccurate to think of single IQ
as summarizing mental abilities.
