C) The "g" factor mediates general intelligence and "s" factor mediates specific abilities.
D) All people have some of eight or nine factors: Verbal-Linguistic, Mathematical-Logical, Musical, Visual-
Spatial, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Naturalist, and Existential
E) Has 16 broad ability factors, of which 6 are tentative.
F) Two "g" factors: gf intelligence: innate culturally free intelligence; and gc: acquired as we learn.

spatial-physical, 3: minor group factors, and 4: specific factors.
H) Seven factors related to "g": verbal meaning, number ability, word fluency, perception speed, spatial ability, reasoning, and memory.
