| List-I | List-II | ||
| (A) | Structure-of-intellect model | (I) | Howard Gardner |
| (B) | Hierarchical model of intelligence | (II) | J. P. Guilford |
| (C) | Theory of primary mental abilities | (III) | Arthur Jensen |
| (D) | Theory of multiple intelligences | (IV) | Louis Thurstone |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)
(A) Structure-of-intellect model — this matches (II) J. P. Guilford. Guilford’s model classifies intellectual traits among three dimensions: operations, contents and products.
(B) Hierarchical model of intelligence — this matches (III) Arthur Jensen. Jensen proposed abilities operating at two levels: Level I, associative learning such as rote memory, and Level II, cognitive competence.
(C) Theory of primary mental abilities — this matches (IV) Louis Thurstone. Thurstone held that intelligence consists of seven primary abilities, such as verbal comprehension and numerical abilities, each relatively independent of the others.
(D) Theory of multiple intelligences — this matches (I) Howard Gardner. For Gardner intelligence is not a single entity; distinct, independent types of intelligence exist.
NCERT (2025-26): “Theories of Intelligence … Spearman’s theory was followed by Louis Thurstone’s theory. He proposed the theory of primary mental abilities. It states that intelligence consists of seven primary abilities, each of which is relatively independent of the others.…” “Theories of Intelligence … Arthur Jensen proposed a hierarchical model of intelligence consisting of abilities operating at two levels, called Level I and Level II.…” “Theories of Intelligence … J.P. Guilford proposed the structure-of-intellect model which classifies intellectual traits among three dimensions: operations, contents, and products.…” “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.…” |
