In Different Fields[edit]

I created this section, because there seemed to be a lot of different versions of what a theoretical definition was in the intro. Some of them were relevant to how it is used in my field and some of them were not. So I tried to make the intro as general as possible. If it doesn't apply to your field try to edit it by making it more general and not tailoring it to your field. Please consider using this section to describe what a theoretical definition is in a specific field. --Xttina.Garnet (talk) 23:55, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Operational Definition?[edit]

How does it differ from an operational definition? --68.34.121.246 (talk) 00:30, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A operational definition can be observed and measured. So intelligence is a theoretical concept, the [g factor (psychometrics)] is a conceptual definition of intelligence, and scores on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale are an operational definition. --Xttina.Garnet (talk) 00:01, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Picture[edit]

The picture of Gandhi above the caption talking about a definition of intelligence is confusing and not very informative, IMHO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.73.29.181 (talk) 13:41, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there an image of Ghandi at the top of the article?[edit]

Why is there an image of Ghandi at the top of the article? What does the caption have to do with Ghandi? FloraWilde (talk) 00:23, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
