Out of the following who has not explained intelligence in terms of Psychometric Approach ?

  • A.Jensen
  • B.Cattell
  • C.Sternberg
  • D.Thurstone

Answer: C

Sternberg did not explain intelligence through the psychometric approach. His triarchic theory is a cognitive, information-processing account that describes components of thinking (meta components, performance components and knowledge acquisition components) with experiential and contextual aspects.

Jensen, Cattell and Thurstone all relied on factor analysis of test scores. Jensen worked on the general factor, Cattell proposed fluid and crystallised intelligence, and Thurstone proposed the primary mental abilities, so they are the psychometric theorists and not the answer.
