Edward Thorndike proposed four dimensions of intelligence, emphasizing the multifaceted nature of cognitive abilities. These dimensions include abstract intelligence, which relates to reasoning and problem-solving; mechanical intelligence, associated with understanding and using tools and machinery; social intelligence, which involves understanding and interacting effectively with others; and emotional intelligence, focused on recognizing and managing one's own emotions as well as those of others. Thorndike's framework highlights the importance of diverse skills beyond traditional academic intelligence.
