300
Psychometric Theory with a focus on general, broad and narrow abilities
What is CHC theory?
300
This provides an estimate of general intellectual ability, with reduced emphasis on working memory and processing speed relative to the FSIQ.

300
Recorded behaviors that are either "disruptive" or "enhancing" to test performance.
What are qualitative indicators?
