First, describe each theory.  Then, discuss advantages OR disadvantages of each of the following theories of intelligence: 
•A. Spearman’s general intelligence (g) 
•B. Thurstone’s primary mental abilities 
•C. Gardner’s multiple intelligences 
•D. Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory 

•Discuss in table groups, add information to class Padlet.  Double-click to add a post. Write group member names in the title.

A: Acknowledges different types of intelligence and the strengths that each type brings (workplace, school) 
D: A person strong in one area, weak in another. 
D: Conflict between people of different types of intelligence.
D: No assessment to identify types of intelligence. ]]> 2019-10-02 13:30:38 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/p40i9d9olixg/wish/392422671 patty_weber https://padlet.com/patty_weber/p40i9d9olixg/wish/392455984 Uses tests to see what clusters of mental ability exist. 
A: Score high in one, predicts in high score in another cluster. 
A: Doesn't rank people. 
D: Conflict between people of different types of intelligence.
D. No single assessment to identify types of intelligence. ]]> 2019-10-02 14:13:19 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/p40i9d9olixg/wish/392455984 patty_weber https://padlet.com/patty_weber/p40i9d9olixg/wish/392974335 Identifies three types of intelligence: Creative, Analytical, and Practical. 
A: Can take a traditional intelligence test to quantify type of intelligence. 
A: Only three types, not as much gray area. 
A: Lots of categories could fit under each heading.
D: Not as many types of intelligence, might not capture all types of intelligence.
D: Could be hard to compare these types of intelligence, one type could be seen as preferable over another. ]]> 2019-10-03 12:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/p40i9d9olixg/wish/392974335 patty_weber https://padlet.com/patty_weber/p40i9d9olixg/wish/392976196 Even though there are clusters, there is a general intelligence in varied academic areas. 
A: Straightforward--doesn't identify different categories. 
A: Easier to compare two different people's scores. 
A: Many different types of intelligence, shows overall. 
D: Ranks people in their overall intelligence score. 
D: Good in one area, good in all, bad at one, bad in all. 
D: Perhaps too broad.
