Charles Thruston

Charles Thruston was an influential figure in the field of psychology and intelligence testing. He is best known for his work in the early 20th century, where he proposed the idea of "multiple factors" of intelligence, suggesting that intelligence is not a single ability but a combination of different mental skills. Thruston's research led to a better understanding of how people learn and think, and he challenged the prevailing notions of intelligence at the time. His work paved the way for more nuanced approaches to studying intelligence, impacting education and psychological assessment practices.
