Detailed explanation-1: -Factor analysis is a family of mathematical techniques that can be used to represent correlations between intelligence tests in terms of a smaller number of variables known as factors. The purpose is to simplify the correlation matrix by using hypothetical underlying factors to explain the patterns in it.
Detailed explanation-2: -General intelligence, also known as g factor, refers to a general mental ability that, according to Spearman, underlies multiple specific skills, including verbal, spatial, numerical and mechanical.
Detailed explanation-3: -The “g” factor is linked to the general ability, while the “s” factor is linked to the specific ability. The “g” factor reflects the capability of a person in doing the general mental ability tasks, and the “s” factor is responsible for recognizing the specific abilities of a person.
