Abstract The broad intelligences include a group of mental abilities such as comprehension knowledge, quantitative reasoning, and visuospatial processing that are relatively specific in their focus and fall at the second stratum of the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) model of intelligence. In recent years, the field has seen a proliferation of mental abilities being considered for inclusion among the broad intelligences, which poses challenges in terms of their effective and efficient assessment. We conducted a meta-analysis of 61 articles that reported correlations among the broad intelligences. Results indicated that the average correlation among broad intelligences fell between r = 0.58, 95% CI [0.53, 0.64], and r = 0.65, 95% CI [0.62, 0.68], depending upon the model employed to estimate the relations. Applying factor analysis to a composite correlation matrix drawn from the studies, we obtained dimensions of broad intelligence that may be useful to organizing the group. Finally, we discuss the implications of the correlations among broad intelligences as an evaluative tool for candidate intelligences.

广义智能之间相关性的元分析：理解它们的关系

摘要 广义智力包括理解知识、定量推理、视觉空间处理等一组心智能力，它们的关注点相对具体，属于卡特尔-霍恩-卡罗尔（CHC）智力模型的第二层。近年来，该领域已经看到越来越多的心理能力被考虑包含在广泛的智力中，这对其有效和高效的评估提出了挑战。我们对 61 篇报道广泛智力之间相关性的文章进行了荟萃分析。结果表明，广泛智力之间的平均相关性介于 r = 0.58, 95% CI [0.53, 0.64] 和 r = 0.65, 95% CI [0.62, 0.68] 之间，具体取决于用于估计关系的模型。将因子分析应用于从研究中得出的复合相关矩阵，我们获得了可能对组织团队有用的广泛智力维度。最后，我们讨论了广泛智力之间的相关性作为候选智力评估工具的含义。
