Some pressure and stress can provide healthy stimulation and help us feel motivated and energized to get things done.
However, too much pressure can lead to anxiety and unhealthy personality changes. In other words, if you draw stress
as a normal “bell-shaped” distribution curve (as shown in the stress diagram below), there is a healthy segment in the
middle of the curve and unhealthy segments at the two tail ends of the curve — too little pressure and too much
pressure can both be problematic.

Intelligence has been defined in many ways: higher-level abilities (such as abstract reasoning, mental representation,
problem-solving, and decision making), the ability to learn, emotional knowledge, creativity, and adaptation to meet the
demands of the environment effectively. Psychologist Robert Sternberg defined intelligence as "the mental abilities
necessary for adaptation to, as well as shaping and selection of, any environmental context. Some researchers argue that
intelligence is a general ability, whereas others make the assertion that intelligence comprises specific skills and talents.
Psychologists contend that intelligence is genetic or inherited, and others claim that it is largely influenced by the
surrounding environment. As a result, psychologists have developed several contrasting theories of intelligence as well
as individual tests that attempt to measure this very concept. Different researchers have proposed a variety of theories to
explain the nature of intelligence. Here are some of the major theories of intelligence that have emerged during the last
100 years. uni factor theory, two-factor theory, multi-factor theory, triarchic theory of intelligence, hierarchical model of
intelligence, the structure of intellect model are some of the major theories contributed to the field of psychology.
32. What is the General Factor? (1)
33. Name the theory that assumes intelligence as one similar set of abilities is called. Explain it. (2)
