Thorndikes Multifactor
Theory
According to Thorndike,
intelligence is composed of a
multitude of highly specific
factors (s factors), each factor
being a very tiny segment of
ability.
Any one mental task involves a
number of these minute abilities

According
to Thurstone, certain
mental tasks/activities have in
common a primary factor which gives
those activities functional unity and
cohesiveness i.e. it binds the tasks
into one group.
Another group of tasks/activities will
have another primary factor binding
them into another group.

Hence,
he concluded that a
second order general factor
existed that was specially strong
at a younger age when
intelligence is undifferentiated.
With age and education,
intelligence becomes more
specialized.

Although
Spearmans,
Thorndikes and Thurstones
theories began with different
starting points, they all finally
arrive at considerable agreement
with each other.
It depends on the type of tests

give evidence for a g factor

Theory of Multiple
Intelligence
Gardner spoke of 7 types of intelligence
Logical/Mathematical,
Bodily/Kinesthetic, Linguistic, Spatial,
Musical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal.
Interpersonal intelligence is similar to
Thorndikes social intelligence defined
as the ability to understand people, how
they function, what motivates them and
how to work cooperatively with them.
Intrapersonal
intelligence is
defined as the capacity to form
an accurate model of oneself and
to be able to use that model to
operate effectively in life
Both these two types of
intelligence have been borrowed
by Daniel Goldman in his
understanding of EQ and EI.

Cattell differentiated between
Crystallized (Gc) and Fluid (Gf)
Intelligence
Crystallized
intelligence refers to
acquired knowledge that is dependent
on exposure to a certain culture as well
as exposure to some sort of formal
education. For example, a persons
vocabulary.
Fluid intelligence consists of abilities
that are more nonverbal in nature,
culture free as well as relatively
independent of education. For example,
memory for digits.
