✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation & Solution
Charles Spearman propounded the Two-Factor Theory of Intelligence in 1904. According to him, two types of factors operate in every intellectual activity: (1) General factor or 'g-factor', which is an innate, universal, and general mental energy used in varying degrees in all types of mental tasks; and (2) Specific factor or 's-factor', which differs across various specific domains (such as music, art, mathematics, etc.) and is acquired or developed through training and experience. In classroom teaching, a teacher should recognize students' general intellectual capacity (g) as well as their specific abilities (s) and provide opportunities for their proper development.
