b)anarchic theory/ multi factor theory
proposed by E.L.Thorndike. the thory is also called atomistic theory of intelligence. It considers intelligence to be a combination of numerous separate elements/ factors each one being a minute element of one ability. There are highly independent specific abilities that go into the accomplishment of different tasks. (we are borne with different abilities.) e.g auditory abilities are good for politicians and teachers.
c)Group factor theory.
It was proposed by L.L. Thurstone. It refers to a situation whereby we have factors not common to all intellectual abilities but common to certain activities compromising a group.
