Question

multiple choice question
the fact that people who were generally good on one type of intelligence test were usually good on others lent support for the belief that
o higher levels of education probably accounted for differences in intelligence.
o there was a general factor for intelligence.
o there was a genetic basis for intelligence.
o people who came from higher socio - economic backgrounds were more intelligent

Explanation:

The statement about people performing well on one type of intelligence test and also on others relates to the concept of a general factor in intelligence. Charles Spearman proposed the g - factor (general factor) theory. If performance across different intelligence tests is correlated (as in the given statement), it supports the idea of a common underlying general factor. Higher education, genetic basis, or socio - economic background are not directly supported by the given statement about performance across different intelligence tests. The statement is about performance across tests, not about the causes of intelligence differences like education, genetics, or socio - economic status.

Answer:

there was a general factor for intelligence.
