purposefully, solve problems, and adapt to new situations.
1. Two Factory Theory
G Factor Theory (overall performance)
S Factor Theory (specific performance)
 G Factor Theory
The g-factor, also known as the general intelligence factor, is a construct in
psychometrics that refers to the idea that a single underlying factor, often referred to
as general intelligence, can account for the positive correlations among cognitive
abilities.
 S Factory Theory
S factors are specific factors that can be acquired by working hard on them and
training. For example, test of arithmetic, spatial relationships, verbal fluency, each
of these specific intelligence measure a separate 's'.
