Guilford’s Factor Analytical Theory

Guilford’s Factor Analytical Theory

J.P. Guilford was a psychologist known for his extensive work on intelligence and creativity.

Guilford identified five types of mental operations or cognitive abilities:

  • Cognition (perception, memory, convergent and divergent production)

  • Evaluation (evaluation of statements, facts, or problems)
