| LIST-I | LIST-II | ||
| A. | Theory of multiple intelligences | I. | Das, Naglieri and Kirby |
| B. | Two-factor theory of intelligence | II. | Alfred Binet |
| C. | One-factor theory of intelligence | III. | Howard Gardner |
| D. | PASS model of intelligence | IV. | Charles Spearman |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
(A) Theory of multiple intelligences — this matches (III) Howard Gardner. For Gardner intelligence is not a single entity; distinct types of intelligence exist, each independent of the others.
(B) Two-factor theory of intelligence — this matches (IV) Charles Spearman. Using factor analysis in 1927, he showed that intelligence has a general factor (g-factor) and some specific factors (s-factors).
(C) One-factor theory of intelligence — this matches (II) Alfred Binet. Binet saw intelligence as one similar set of abilities usable for solving any problem, so his theory is called the uni or one factor theory.
(D) PASS model of intelligence — this matches (I) Das, Naglieri and Kirby. The Planning, Attention-arousal and Simultaneous-successive model was developed by J.P. Das, Jack Naglieri and Kirby (1994).
NCERT (2025-26): “Theories of Intelligence … We mentioned above that Alfred Binet was the first psychologist who tried to formalise the concept of intelligence in terms of mental operations. Prior to him, we find the notion of intelligence described in general ways in various philosophical treatises available in different cultural traditions. Binet’s theory of intelligence was rather simple as it arose from his interest in differentiating more intelligent from less intelligent individuals. He, therefore, conceptualised intelligence as consisting of one similar set of abilities which can be used for solving any or every problem in an individual’s environment. His theory of intelligence is called Uni or one factor theory of intelligence.…” “…In 1927, Charles Spearman proposed a two-factor theory of intelligence employing a statistical method called factor analysis. He showed that intelligence consisted of a general factor (g-factor) and some specific factors (s-factors).…” “Theory of Multiple Intelligences … Howard Gardner proposed the theory of multiple intelligences. According to him, intelligence is not a single entity; rather distinct types of intelligences exist. Each of these intelligences are independent of each other.…” “Planning, Attention-arousal, and Simultaneous-successive (PASS) Model of Intelligence … This model has been developed by J.P. Das, Jack Naglieri, and Kirby (1994).…” |
