4. Memory:
It refers to the ability of the person to quickly memorize the various concepts or
phenomena and retaining them for a longer period of time.
Various memory tests like asking the participants to learn nonsense syllables, and
their ability to remember them could be a measure of their memory factor. The
ability to recall the learned concepts by the students during the exams is largely
dependent on this primary mental ability factor.
5.The word fluency factor :
When a person is asked to rapidly speak several isolated words or sentences, then
verbal fluency comes into play; a person with high verbal fluency may excel in
this task, while the person with low verbal fluency may have difficulty in this
task.
This factor is responsible for the communication skills of the person. The tests to
measure this factor may involve asking participants to rapidly think of words that
begin or end with a specific letter.
