Which is not the component of 'Content Dimensions' of three dimensional intelligence theory by Guilford?

Intelligence refers to the capacity to acquire and apply knowledge. It is the ability to solve problems, learn from experiences, and apply knowledge to deal with new situations.

• There are many theories related to intelligence. These theories are propounded by eminent psychologists to provide a framework to understand different aspects of human intelligence.

Key Points 

Three Dimensional Model of Intellect/Structured Theory of Intelligence:

• SI model of intelligence was given by J P Guilford in 1966.
• In J.P. Guilford’s Structure of Intellect (SI) theory, intelligence is viewed as comprising operations, contents, and products.
• According to this theory, There are
  • 6 kinds of operations (cognition, memory recording, memory retention, divergent production, convergent production, evaluation),
  • 6 kinds of products (units, classes, relations, systems, transformations, and implications), and
  • 5 kinds of contents ((Figural - visual & auditory), symbolic, semantic, behavioral).
• Each of these dimensions is independent, there are theoretically 180 different components of intelligence.
• Guilford researched and developed a wide variety of psychometric tests to measure the specific abilities predicted by SI theory.
• These tests provide an operational definition of the many abilities proposed by the theory. Furthermore, factor analysis was used to determine which tests appeared to measure the same or different abilities.

Hence, it is clear that the system is not the component of 'Content Dimensions' of three-dimensional intelligence theory by Guilford as it is the component of 'Product Dimensions'.
