Compare Sternberg's triarchic theory and Gardner's multiple intelligences.
Sternberg proposes three components (analytical, creative, practical); Gardner proposes eight independent intelligences.
Compare emotional intelligence and general intelligence (g).
Emotional intelligence focuses on understanding and managing emotions, while general intelligence focuses on cognitive abilities.
Compare Thurstone's primary mental abilities and Spearman's 'g' factor.
Thurstone proposed seven distinct clusters, while Spearman proposed one general factor underlying all abilities.
