Which theory of intelligence proposes that intelligence is a combination of multiple independent abilities?

  1. Spearman's Two-Factor Theory

  2. Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences

  3. Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence

  4. Cattell's Investment Theory


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences proposes that intelligence is not a single, unitary trait, but rather a collection of relatively independent abilities, such as linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, musical intelligence, and bodily-kinesthetic intelligence.

Which of the following is NOT a component of Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence?

  1. Componential Intelligence

  2. Experiential Intelligence

  3. Contextual Intelligence

  4. Fluid Intelligence


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence consists of three components: componential intelligence (the ability to solve problems and acquire new knowledge), experiential intelligence (the ability to learn from experience and adapt to new situations), and contextual intelligence (the ability to understand and adapt to one's environment). Fluid intelligence, which is the ability to solve novel problems and reason abstractly, is not a component of Sternberg's theory.

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of creative thinking?

  1. Fluency

  2. Flexibility

  3. Originality

  4. Conformity


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Fluency, flexibility, and originality are all characteristics of creative thinking. Conformity, on the other hand, is the opposite of creativity, as it involves adhering to established norms and expectations.

Which theory of creativity emphasizes the importance of divergent thinking?

  1. Guilford's Structure-of-Intellect Model

  2. Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence

  3. Torrance's Theory of Creative Thinking

  4. Cattell's Investment Theory


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Torrance's Theory of Creative Thinking emphasizes the importance of divergent thinking, which is the ability to generate multiple, unique, and original ideas in response to a problem or situation.

Which of the following is NOT a factor that influences creativity?

  1. Personality traits

  2. Environmental factors

  3. Cognitive abilities

  4. Intelligence


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

While personality traits, environmental factors, and cognitive abilities can all influence creativity, intelligence is not a direct determinant of creativity. In fact, some studies have even found a negative correlation between intelligence and creativity.

Which of the following is NOT a strategy for enhancing creativity?

  1. Brainstorming

  2. Mind mapping

  3. Freewriting

  4. Critical thinking


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Brainstorming, mind mapping, and freewriting are all strategies that can be used to generate new ideas and enhance creativity. Critical thinking, on the other hand, is a process of evaluating and analyzing information in a logical and rational manner, which is not directly related to creativity.

Which of the following is NOT a type of intelligence identified by Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences?

  1. Linguistic Intelligence

  2. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence

  3. Musical Intelligence

  4. Emotional Intelligence


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences identifies eight types of intelligence: linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. Emotional intelligence, which is the ability to understand and manage one's own emotions and the emotions of others, is not included in Gardner's theory.

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of divergent thinking?

  1. Fluency

  2. Flexibility

  3. Originality

  4. Convergence


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Fluency, flexibility, and originality are all characteristics of divergent thinking, which is the ability to generate multiple, unique, and original ideas in response to a problem or situation. Convergence, on the other hand, is the opposite of divergent thinking, as it involves narrowing down to a single, correct answer or solution.

Which of the following is NOT a component of Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence?

  1. Analytical Intelligence

  2. Creative Intelligence

  3. Practical Intelligence

  4. Componential Intelligence


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence consists of three components: componential intelligence (the ability to solve problems and acquire new knowledge), experiential intelligence (the ability to learn from experience and adapt to new situations), and contextual intelligence (the ability to understand and adapt to one's environment). Analytical intelligence, which is the ability to analyze information and solve problems in a logical and systematic manner, is not a component of Sternberg's theory.

Which of the following is NOT a strategy for enhancing creativity?

  1. Taking risks

  2. Embracing failure

  3. Seeking feedback

  4. Conforming to norms


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Taking risks, embracing failure, and seeking feedback are all strategies that can be used to enhance creativity. Conforming to norms, on the other hand, is the opposite of creativity, as it involves adhering to established expectations and avoiding new or unconventional ideas.

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of creative thinking?

  1. Fluency
