Thurston's Group Factor Theory proposes that intelligence consists of several primary mental abilities. Louis Thurston originally identified 7 primary mental abilities in 1937, including verbal comprehension, verbal fluency, numerical ability, perceptual speed, inductive reasoning, spatial visualization, and memory. He later added deductive reasoning and problem solving abilities. Each primary ability represents a different cluster of mental operations and they are relatively independent of each other. Thurston's theory influenced later theories of multiple intelligences and contributed techniques for measuring attitudes.

“Individual difference and educational implications- thinking, intelligence a...Shrooti Shah
The differences among individuals, that distinguish or separate them from one another and make one as an unique individual in oneself, may be termed as individual differences.
Learning is most effective when differences in learner’s language, cultural, and social behaviour are taken into account.
A teacher should be sensitive to individual differences.
A teacher’s challenge is to acknowledge and celebrate the differences among children and work to maximize the growth in each child.
Testing Instruments are used to test Intelligence Quotient or personality tests to evaluate past-acquired competencies or future success in education or employment. A close examination and study of human cognition based on biological and anthropological evidence such as plasticity of brain we may have to include more universal set of competencies than ordinarily been considered such as verbal, mathematical and logical competencies. This paper attempts to address issues relating to definition of intelligence, its components and application of study for educational testing and selection process.

Big Five/HPTI and Cognitive ability AND High potential personalityCol Mukteshwar Prasad
Relationship between personality/HPTI and intelligence has been studied.
Most studies have focused on measures of intelligence in relation to the personality factors of the Five Factor Model (FFM) or Big Five(OCEAN) , Openness , Conscientiousness , Extravert, Agreeableness and Neuroticism.
Cognitive ability refers to what a person can achieve in workplace and educational settings, personality variables determine whether and how and why they do or do not realize potential.
Cattell (1971)suggested that certain elements of personality will have an intellectual ability component, which will affect general ability. Cattell has an investment model which suggests that personality traits (like Conscientiousness and Openness) may have long-term effects on the development of intellectual abilities.
Thus, personality factors may be seen as motivational variables that have a strong impact on academic results.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. Thurston’s Group Factor Theory
Louis Thurston came out with the group factor
theory (1937) saying that Intelligence is a cluster
of abilities
These mental operations then constitute a group
A second group of mental operations has its own
unifying Primary factor; a third group has a third
Primary factor and so on.
Each of them has its own primary factor
Each of these primary factors is said to be
relatively independent of others
He pointed out that there were Seven Primary
Mental Abilities and later on added two more.
4. Seven Primary Mental Abilities
Verbal comprehension Factor
This factor involves a person’s ability to
understand verbal material
It is measured by tests such as vocabulary and
reading comprehension.
Verbal fluency Factor
This ability is involved in rapidly producing
words, sentences, and other verbal material
It is measured by tests such as one that requires
the examinee to produce as many words as
possible beginning with a particular letter in a
short amount of time.
5. Numerical Factor
This ability is involved in rapid arithmetic
computation and in solving simple arithmetic
word problems.
Perceptual speed Factor
This ability is involved in proofreading and in
rapid recognition of letters and numbers
It is measured by tests such as those requiring the
crossing out of As in a long string of letters or in
tests requiring recognition of which of several
pictures at the right is identical to the picture at the
left.
6. Inductive reasoning Factor
This ability requires generalization—reasoning
from the specific to the general
It is measured by tests, such as letter series,
number series, and word classifications, in
which the examinee must indicate which of
several words does not belong with the others.
7. Spatial visualization Factor
This ability is involved in visualizing shapes,
rotations of objects, and how pieces of a puzzle fit
together
An example of a test would be the presentation of
a geometric form followed by several other
geometric forms
Each of the forms that follows the first is either
the same rotated by some rigid transformation or
the mirror image of the first form in rotation
The examinee has to indicate which of the forms
at the right is a rotated version of the form at the
left, rather than a mirror image.
8. Memory Factor
It means the ability to recall and associate
previously learned items effectively or
memorize quickly.
Deductive Reasoning (P) – Ability to use the
generalized results correctly
Problem solving ability factor (PS) -Ability
to solve problem independently.
9. Educational Significance and
Implications
contributed greatly to the measurement of
attitudes. ‘Thurston scale’ developed in 1928
was the first formal techniques for measuring
of attitudes
Thurston’s theory of intelligence was a major
influence on later theories of multiple
intelligences, such as those of Guilford,
Gardner, and Sternberg.
10. developed a comparative judgment scaling
technique-rank scale, can be used to rank all
possible feelings related to an issue and to
categorize people expressing an opinion
based on the rank of that opinion
if the individual wants to perform any
particular activity, one or more of these
factors or abilities are involved. Some of
them are more important than others.
