CONTRIBUTIONS TO INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH

Facet Theory Louis Guttman

Derived from Guttman and his associates defined three major dimensions or “facets” of the intelligence domain.

A test item must ask about a rule (be it logical, empirical, semantic, or normative) and the response must range from perfectly true to not true at all.
