The psychometric approach examines which intellectual abilities tend to correlate statistically with one another. This approach uses factor analysis to identify common factors that underlie performance across a variety of tasks
The information processing or cognitive approach aims to describe and measure the specific cognitive processes that underlie intelligent behaviour, including the following: speed of processing, knowledge base, and the ability to learn and apply mental strategies
Current multifactor theories of intelligence include Sternberg's triarchic theory (analytical, practical and creative) and Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences
