Are there theories of intelligence?

Answer:
Yes
Spearman claimed intelligence is a general factor (g factor) that affects all aspects of ability. yet Thurstone believed that intelligence was actually many, actually 7 different distinct abilities. Gardner also had a theory that emphasizes that development is not the same in all areas. He says that intelligence is the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural settings. I personally agree with Gardner, intelligence depends on your location and what the society you live in considers to be "smart".
