Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Guilford's Structure-of-Intellect (Three-Dimensional) model of intelligence classifies every intellectual ability along three independent dimensions: Operations (the mental process — Cognition, Memory, Divergent Production, Convergent Production, Evaluation), Contents (the kind of information involved — Figural, Symbolic, Semantic, Behavioral), and Products (the form the result takes — Units, Classes, Relations, Systems, Transformations, Implications). Each specific element of intelligence belongs to exactly one of these three dimensions.
Checking each printed pair against this classification:
Unit — Product: correct pairing — Unit is one of the six Products (Unit, Class, Relation, System, Transformation, Implication).
Cognition — Operation: correct pairing — Cognition is one of the five Operations (Cognition, Memory, Divergent Production, Convergent Production, Evaluation).
Evaluation — Operation: correct pairing — Evaluation is also one of the five Operations, the process of judging information against a standard.
Relations — Content: not correct — Relations is one of the six Products (the connection between two units of information), not a Content.
Since Relations is classified among the Products (alongside Unit), pairing it with Content misassigns its dimension — every other pair correctly matches its element to the right dimension. So the pair that is not correct is Relations — Content.
