Critique of Intelligence Construct · CDP

A criticism of Spearman’s g-factor theory is that:

  1. It attempts to explain far too many separate and distinct types of human intelligence
  2. It oversimplifies the complexity of human abilities
  3. It excludes mathematical reasoning
  4. It focuses only on emotional intelligence
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: It oversimplifies the complexity of human abilities

Critics argue that a single ‘g’ factor cannot capture the range of human cognitive abilities. This oversimplification ignores domain-specific strengths.
