What is Spearman's theory of general intelligence?
A single 'g' factor underlies all specific mental abilities; if you're good at one thing, you're likely good at others.
What is Thurstone's theory of primary mental abilities?
Intelligence is composed of seven distinct clusters: word fluency, verbal comprehension, spatial ability, perceptual speed, numerical ability, inductive reasoning, memory.
What is Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences?
There are eight independent intelligences: linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, naturalist.
What are the key components of emotional intelligence?
Perceiving, understanding, managing, and using emotions.
What is Sternberg's triarchic theory of intelligence?
Intelligence consists of analytical, creative, and practical components.
What is Cattell's theory of fluid vs. crystallized intelligence?
Fluid intelligence is the ability to solve new problems, while crystallized intelligence is accumulated knowledge.
How do individualistic and collectivist cultures view intelligence?
Individualistic cultures value personal achievement; collectivist cultures prioritize group success. This impacts how intelligence is defined and measured.
Explain the concept of spatial intelligence.
The ability to visualize the world in 3D.
Explain the concept of interpersonal intelligence.
The ability to understand and interact effectively with others.
Explain the concept of intrapersonal intelligence.
The capacity to understand oneself, including one's emotions, motivations, and goals.
Compare Spearman's 'g' factor and Gardner's multiple intelligences.
Spearman proposes one general intelligence; Gardner proposes eight independent intelligences.
Compare fluid and crystallized intelligence.
Fluid intelligence is the ability to solve new problems; crystallized intelligence is accumulated knowledge.
Compare Sternberg's triarchic theory and Gardner's multiple intelligences.
Sternberg proposes three components (analytical, creative, practical); Gardner proposes eight independent intelligences.
Compare emotional intelligence and general intelligence (g).
Emotional intelligence focuses on understanding and managing emotions, while general intelligence focuses on cognitive abilities.
Compare Thurstone's primary mental abilities and Spearman's 'g' factor.
Thurstone proposed seven distinct clusters, while Spearman proposed one general factor underlying all abilities.
Compare analytical and practical intelligence in Sternberg's theory.
Analytical intelligence involves problem-solving and academic skills, while practical intelligence involves adapting to daily life.
Compare interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence in Gardner's theory.
Interpersonal intelligence involves understanding others, while intrapersonal intelligence involves understanding oneself.
Compare fluid intelligence in young adults and older adults.
Fluid intelligence tends to be higher in young adults and decreases with age, while crystallized intelligence increases.
Compare the views of intelligence in individualistic and collectivist cultures.
Individualistic cultures value personal achievement, while collectivist cultures prioritize group success.
Compare creative intelligence and analytical intelligence.
Creative intelligence involves generating new ideas, while analytical intelligence involves problem-solving and critical thinking.
How is emotional intelligence applied in the workplace?
Effective teamwork, conflict resolution, and leadership.
How can Gardner's multiple intelligences be applied in education?

How is analytical intelligence applied in academic settings?
Critical thinking, problem-solving, and academic performance.
How is creative intelligence applied in artistic endeavors?

How can understanding fluid intelligence help with cognitive training?
Designing activities that improve problem-solving and abstract thinking skills.
How can crystallized intelligence be utilized in decision-making?
Applying accumulated knowledge and past experiences to make informed judgments.
How is linguistic intelligence applied in journalism?
Writing clear, concise, and engaging articles.
How is logical-mathematical intelligence applied in computer programming?
Developing algorithms and solving complex computational problems.
How is bodily-kinesthetic intelligence applied in sports?
Mastering physical skills and coordinating movements.
