CHC Model
CHC theory involved the use of the mathematical technique known as factor analysis In comparison to other well-known theories of intelligence and cognitive abilities, CHC theory is the scientifically proven and well structured theory
Raymond Cattell
Cattell proposed that there were two overall abilities people have: Crystallized intelligence and fluid intelligence
Crystallized intelligence
-- acquired knowledge and experience -- age
Fluid intelligence
-- problem-solving, learning and pattern recognition
John Horn
Added Seven to Sixteen broad abilities
Gc crystallized intelligence
Gf fluid intelligence
Broad
Gs processing speed
retrieval
Grw reading and writing ability Gq quantitative reasoning Gv visual processing Ga auditory processing
John Carroll
General ( Stratum III ) : general intelligence factor g Broad ( Stratum II ) : fluid and crystalized intelligence Narrow ( Stratum I ) : 73 narrow abilities, each related to a specific Stratum II domain.

CHC Tests
CHC Model tests (aptitude tests, general intelligence assessments) are one of the most powerful predictors of cognitive abilities These tests measure verbal, numerical and abstract reasoning and the resulting score reflects the person's ability to acquire, retain, organise and apply information
CHC Tests
People who score well on cognitive ability tests are more likely to: Develop a greater knowledge of the task, more quickly Make effective decisions Successfully reason , solve problems Respond appropriately to new or complex situations
