Sternberg's

is based on three aspects: componential intelligence, experiential intelligence and
contextual intelligence:
Question 3
Option 2
Reference: Textbook page 147
People who are closely related (in terms of genetics) obtain similar scores on
intelligence tests. The closer the relationship, the more similar the scores are
likely to be. For example, it has been found that the test scores of identical
twins are more similar than those of fraternal twins (Bouchard et al., 1990).
This finding seems to confirm the notion that intelligence is hereditary.
People who are raised in similar environments obtain similar scores on
intelligence tests

Option 3
Reference: Textbook page 145

between performances on different intellectual tasks. Spearman called this underlying
factor 'general intelligence' or 'general intellectual ability',
