J.P. Guilford

J.P. Guilford was an American psychologist known for his work in the field of intelligence and creativity. He proposed that human intelligence is not just one single ability but consists of various types of cognitive skills, which he categorized into dimensions such as operations, content, and products. Guilford emphasized the importance of creativity, developing a structure of intelligence that included divergent thinking, which is the ability to generate multiple solutions to problems. His theories have influenced educational practices and how we understand human potential beyond traditional IQ measurements.
