True

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
The psychometric approach is a way of studying intelligence that emphasizes analysis of the products of intelligence, especially scores on intelligence tests. The information-processing model focuses on mental operations, such as attention and memory, that underlie intelligent behavior. Sternbergs triarchic theory of intelligence proposes three types of intelligence: analytic, creative, and practical. Intelligence tests measure only analytic intelligence, but creative intelligence (which involves dealing with new problems) and practical intelligence (which involves adapting to ones environment) are also important to success in school and work. Gardners theory of multiple intelligences includes eight specific intelligences: linguistic (reflected in good vocabulary and reading comprehension), logical-mathematical (as indicated by skill at arithmetic and certain kinds of reasoning), spatial (seen in the ability to visualize relationships among some objects in the environment), musical (as in the abilities involving rhythm, tempo, and sound identification), body-kinesthetic (reflected in skill at dancing, athletics, and eye-hand coordination), intrapersonal (displayed by self-understanding), interpersonal (seen in the ability to understand and interact with others), and naturalistic (the abilities to see patterns in nature).
