Question

Describe Raymond Cattell's Theory of Intelligence.

Answer in Brief

Solution

Two main categories of intelligence are identified by Raymond Cattell's multi-factor theory of intelligence:

  1. Fluid intelligence
  2. Crystallised intelligence

Fluid intelligence is the ability to solve problems, believe in general, and adapt to changing conditions. It is thought to be primarily related and peak in early adulthood instead of decreasing with age. On the other hand, the body of knowledge and skills acquired by education and life experience makes up organised mental ability. It's thought to increase with age and stay the same until maturity.
