"General Intelligence," Objectively Determined and Measured

Charles Spearman

4.9/5 (16571 ratings)

Description:Charles Spearman started his psychology career relatively late in life, beginning his Ph.D. studies at age 34 and accepting his first university position at age 42. Yet, his technical and theoretical contributions to the development of intelligence research as a scientific enterprise cannot be overstated. He was the first to offer a tenable psychometric definition of intelligence, and is therefore considered to be the father of classical test theory (Jensen, 1994). In a famous article, “General Intelligence’ Objectively Determined and Measured” (1904), Spearman proposed the idea that intelligent behavior is generated by a single, unitary quality within the human mind or brain. Spearman derived this theoretical entity, called the general factor, or simply g, through a new statistical technique that analyzed the correlations among a set of variables. This technique, called factor analysis, demonstrated that scores on all mental tests are positively correlated; this offered compelling evidence that all intelligent behavior is derived from one metaphorical pool of mental energy. Although proponents of multiple intelligence theory reject this interpretation, factor analysis remains one of the most important tools in 21 st century intelligence research.Source paper: The American Journal of Psychology, Vol. 15, No. 2 (Apr., 1904), pp. 201-292Source bio: https://www.intelltheory.com/spearman...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
