1. Is there one intelligence or many?
Keyword(s):
‘Is there one intelligence or many?’ considers what is measured in intelligence tests, such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale IV, and asks whether these different skills are related to each other, or whether they are distinct. Mental abilities, as measured in mental tests, tend to collect together in pools with common associations. So can we talk about a general intelligence? From the various datasets available, we can say with confidence that some people are generally cleverer than others, and also that there is more to human mental ability than just being generally clever. In the 1990s, American psychologist John Carroll produced a three-stratum model of mental abilities to describe a hierarchy of intelligence differences.
