Structure of Intellect
Structure of Intellect (SOI) was developed by Guilford.
Intelligence consists of numerous intellectual abilities.
Guilford first proposed model with 120, then 150 and finally 180 independently operating factors in intelligence.
He proposed a three dimensional cubical model to explain the theory of the SOI.<br>
02
These factors were then organized along three dimensions:
Operations
Contents
Products<br>
03
Each of these aspects of intelligence was analyzed and separated into sub categories: six for operations, six for products and five for content, making a cube of 6 x 6 x 5 = 180.<br>
04
Operations:
It refers to the basic intellectual processes of thinking used by persons. It has the following six sub categories:
C Cognition: Understanding new information and discovering new ideas and concepts. This is also directly related to their level of comprehension and how well they can discover information on their own.<br>
05
M Memory : It includes person’s ability to recall or recognize previously learned information.
D Divergent Production: It refers to the ability to search for multiple, creative or novel solutions to a problem.<br>
06
C Convergent Production: It includes the ability to search for a correct solution to a problem (It is the type of thinking that results in the right or best answer)
E Evaluation: It is the ability to judge the information critically whether it is correct or incorrect, which items are identical in some way, which items are better, and what qualities are shared by various items, etc.<br>
07
Content:
It refers to a type of content or material on which operations are performed. It has the following five sub categories:
V Visual: Perceived through seeing.
A Auditory: Perceived through hearing.
S Symbolic: Perceived as symbols or signs.<br>
08
S Semantic: Concerned with verbal meaning and ideas, study of meaning.
K Kinesthetic: Perceived through physical actions.
B Behavioural: Information perceived as acts of people.<br>
09
Products:
It refers to the results of performing operations on contents, i.e., the form of thought produced by individuals: It has the following six sub categories:
U Units: It refers to the production of single word, definition or isolated bit of information (represents a single item of information)
C Classes: It refers to the production of a concept.<br>
10
R Relations: It refers to the production of any form of relationship such as an analogy, an opposite or other similar one’s.
S System: It refers to the production of an organization of items or network with interacting parts (consists of the relationships among more than two units).<br>
11
T Transformation: It refers to the production of changes in meaning, organization of some other arrangements.
I Implications: It refers to the production of such information as is beyond the data presented (ability to extend expectations and project present information into the future).<br>
