Discussion
A test involves presenting a pair of words like FATHER-DAUGHTER and the subject is required to list as many ways in which the pair is related. In this measure which of the abilities are given by Guilford ?
Answer: B
The test measures divergent production of semantic relations. Guilford's structure of intellect model crosses operations, contents and products. Listing many ways in which a pair of words (father and daughter) is related is divergent production, because many answers are produced, and the content is semantic, since the meanings of words are used. The product is relations, because the link between two items is asked for. Convergent production seeks one right answer, and symbolic content refers to letters or numbers, and 'semantic systems' is a different product.
