Describe Raymond Cattell's Theory of Intelligence.
Advertisements
Solution
Two main categories of intelligence are identified by Raymond Cattell's multi-factor theory of intelligence:
- Fluid intelligence
- 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.

Read the case study and answer the question that follows:
| When Srikanth Bolla was born, neighbours in the village suggested that his parents smother him. It was better than the pain they would have to go through their lifetime, some said. He is a “useless” baby without eyes; being born blind is a sin, others added. Twenty-three years later, Srikanth is standing tall living by his conviction that if the “world looks at me and says, Srikanth, you can do nothing, I look back at the world and say, I can do anything.” Srikanth is the Founder and CEO of Hyderabad-based Bollant Industries, an organisation that employs uneducated and challenged employees to manufacture eco-friendly, disposable consumer packaging solutions, which is worth ₹ 50 crore. He considers himself the luckiest man alive, not because he is now a millionaire but because his uneducated parents, who earned ₹ 20,000 a year, did not heed any of the ‘advice’ they received and raised him with love and affection. “They are the richest people I know,” says Srikanth. |
We can see that Srikanth has the ability to adopt, shape and select the environment. Identify the theory of intelligence that would best support our understanding of Srikanth's intelligence.
