Prominent figure in General Intelligence
Charles Spearman
who coined the term Triarchic theory of intelligence
Robert Sternberg
According to Sternberg, there are three basic kinds of intelligence:
Analytical Intelligence
Creative Intelligence
Practical Intelligence
it measured by traditional intelligence tests that would help to solve a physics and evaluate information to solve problems

a French scientist and was not the first person to develop a measure of intelligence, his original test and the revisions based on it have been among the most influential means of assessing the mental ability of children.
ALFRED BINET
The results of this scale were expressed not simply as a mental age score, but as an intelligence quotient (or IQ) which is calculated by dividing mental age (MA) by chronological age (CA) and multiplying by 100.
Stanford-Binet
