Describe how the depiction of intelligence and the components of intelligence have changed from the Stanford-Binet era to current depictions (e.g., Sternberg and Gardner).
What will be an ideal response?
The answer should mention that intelligence was originally depicted as problem-solving abilities (e.g., verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, abstract/visual reasoning, and short-term memory). Now the depiction of intelligence is multifaceted and the cognitive skills that are included are much more diverse (e.g., analytic intelligence, creative intelligence, and practical intelligence as proposed by Sternberg or Gardner's verbal, mathematical, spatial, movement, musical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal skills).
