My excerpts (forty-two) Richard Grieg Philip Zimbardo " Psychology and Life "
1. Raymond Cattell uses a more advanced factor analysis method to General intelligence is divided into two relatively independent components, which he calls crystallized intelligence and liquid intelligence.
★ Crystallized intelligence includes a person's acquired knowledge and ability to acquire knowledge, and is measured by verbal, arithmetic, and general knowledge tests.
★Liquid intelligence is the ability to discover complex relationships and solve problems. It is measured by tests such as block diagrams and spatial vision. In these tests, the required background information is very clear.
★ Crystallized intelligence enables people to cope well with their own lives and concrete problems, while liquid intelligence helps you deal with novel and abstract problems.
2. Sternberg proposed the three-factor theory of intelligence, believing that intelligence includes three types: analysis, creation and practice, all of which represent different aspects of effective operation.
★ Analytical Intelligence provides basic information processing skills that people can apply to many familiar tasks in life. This type of intelligence is defined in terms of components or mental processes involved in thinking and problem solving.
★Creative intelligence refers to people's ability to deal with novel problems. Sternberg “Creative intelligence includes the ability to create, invent, discover, imagine, conjecture, or hypothesize.”
★Practical intelligence is reflected in the handling of daily things. It includes adapting to new and different environments, choosing an appropriate environment, and effectively changing the environment to suit your needs. Practical intelligence depends on specific situations.
