Intelligence Tests as Taxonomic Tools. Three General Paradigms for Conceptualizing and Measuring Intelligence. Psychometric Theories and Measures of Intelligence: Where Do the Wechsler Intelligence Scales Fit? That Was Then: Early or “Incomplete” Taxonomic Theories and Models of Intelligence. This Is Now: Contemporary or “Complete” Taxonomic Theories and Models of Intelligence. What Is Gf-Gc Theory? Recent Gf-Gc Theory Developments. Gardner, Sternberg, and Guilford's Theories: Relevance to Contemporary Psychometric Theories.
