• In Guilford’s Structure of Intellect (SI) theory, intelligence is viewed as comprising operations, contents, and products.

• There are 6 kinds of operations (cognition, memory recording, memory retention, divergent production, convergent production, evaluation), 6 kinds of products (units, classes, relations, systems, transformations, and implications), and 5 kinds of contents (visual, auditory, symbolic, semantic, behavioral).

• Since each of these dimensions is independent, there are theoretically 180 different components of intelligence.

• Guilford researched and developed a wide variety of psychometric tests to measure the specific abilities predicted by SI theory.

• These tests provide an operational definition of the many abilities proposed by the theory.
