Current intelligence tests are only weakly grounded in underlying theories of intelligence. Two current theories of intelligence are described, and a study is presented in which measures derived from these theories are compared with each other and traditional tests of ability. Measures derived from Jensen's neural oscillation theory were found to be related to motor speed. Measures derived from Sternberg's triarchic theory were found to be related to spatial reasoning and verbal ability. The two theories appear to measure different facets of intelligence, with neither, as operationalized here, giving a complete picture.
