1) Thurstone’s theory was based on factor analysis of seven clusters of the primary mental abilities that underlies a person’s total intelligence
2) STRENGTHS: A single g score in not as informative as socires for seven primary mental abilities.
3) WEAKNESSES: Even Thurstone’s seven mental abilities show a tendency to cluster, suggesting an underlying g factor.

1. Gardner proposed a theory of 8 multiple intelligences that each represented specific “modalities” rather than focusing on a single general intelligence.
2. STRENGTHS of this theory include the breaking down of one’s intelligence into 8 aspects that can be measured through tests and as a whole represent a valid idea of one’s intelligence.
3. WEAKNESSES: Critics claim that these different categories are not intelligences but instead are just individual traits. Also research has shown that a general intelligence does exist in some situations (being bad at one category doesn’t mean one will excel in another category).

1). Charles Spearman, who helped develop factor analysis, believed there is also general intelligence, or g, factor that underlies all of our intelligent behavior.
2). STRENGTHS: Different abilities, such as verbal and spatial, do have some tendency to correlate.
3). WEAKNESSES: Human abilities are too diverse to be encapsulated by a single general intelligence factor.

1) Sternberg’s theory was triarchic, and classified intelligence into three areas that predicted success: analytical, creative and practical
2) STRENGTHS: This theory is strong because the three areas he identified are reliably measurable.
3) WEAKNESSES: They are dependent on each other and may share a g factor and it is unknown if these factors can actually measure success

1. Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the ability to perceive, express, understand, and regulate emotions. Sometimes EQ is a better predictor for future succeed than IQ.
2. STRENGTHS: Assesses how one interacts with others around them and adapts to various situations, EQ reasonably predicts one’s ability to survive and thrive within the “social” world.
3. WEAKNESSES: Critics claim that other aspects of IQ such as creative or practical intelligence are more important than
