Spearman's general intelligence (g) - specific mental abilities and is therefore measured by every task on an intelligence test. Spearman believed that people have special abilities that stand out. He believed that when someone scores high on one factor they are likely to score higher than average on other factors. The g factor, therefore, underlies all of your intelligent behavior and mental abilities.
Thurstone was one of Spearman's opponents. He gave his students 56 different tests. After those tests he was able to identify sever clusters of primary mental abilities Those were word fluency, verbal comprehension, spatial abilities, perceptual speed, numerical ability, inductive reasoning, and memory
Alfred Binet has able to measure what was mental age. Mental age is the age in which most typically corresponds to a given performance. Terman had attempted to use Binet's test but failed So Terman used some of Binet's ideas and his own to establish new age norms. Terman named this new test Stanford- Binet.
Wechsler had created the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). This test consists of 11 subtests and contains verbal and performance (non-verbal) subtests. This tests tells separate scores for verbal comprehension, perceptual organization, working memory, and processing speed, which the Stanford-Binet does not. This test is now the most widely used intelligence test.

First video shows how it is possible to compare intelligence to wildly different people. The second, third, and fourth video is someone explaining the concepts of intelligence
