Question

the problem many had with spearmans g - factor theory was which of the following assumptions? if you were good at one dimension, you were good at multiple dimensions of intelligence. if you were not good at one type intelligence, you were likely good at another type of intelligence. you could only be good at one type of intelligence.

Explanation:

Spearman's G - Factor theory proposes a general intelligence factor (g) that underlies all cognitive abilities. The controversial assumption was that proficiency in one intellectual dimension implied proficiency in multiple dimensions (the idea of a general g factor influencing various intellectual tasks). The second option goes against the idea of a general factor (it suggests a compensatory relationship between different intelligences, which isn't part of Spearman's theory), and the third option is also not in line with the theory as it doesn't recognize the general factor.

Answer:

A. If you were good at one dimension, you were good at multiple dimensions of intelligence.
