Theories
Psychometric

Psychometric theories have generally sought to understand the structure of intelligence: What form does it take, and what are its parts, if any?

Such theories have generally been based on and tested by the use of data obtained from paper-and-pencil tests of mental abilities that include analogies (e.g., lawyer : client :: doctor : ?), classifications (e.g., Which word does not belong with the others? robin, sparrow, chicken, bluejay), and series completions (e.g., What number comes next in the following series? 3, 6, 10, 15, ?).
