Accepted Answer

A. Spearman's 'g' factor suggests intelligence is a single general ability, whereas Gardner proposes multiple independent forms of intelligence. — Spearman's 'g' factor posits a single general intelligence underlying all cognitive abilities, while Gardner's MI theory argues for eight distinct, independent intelligences (e.g., linguistic, spatial, interpersonal).
