Description

The Structure of Intellect is a theory of human intelligence that was developed from 1945 to 1965 by Dr. J. P. Guilford and his colleagues at the University of Southern California. The SOI is the application of the Structure of Intellect theory to various learning situations. It has been in continuous use and development from 1965 to the present.SOI applies the Structure of Intellect to learning— general education, reading instruction, remedial education, gifted education, training and retraining, and career counseling. SOI is applicable to all of these diverse areas because it identifies how human intelligence and its development (or lack of development) are related to demands of learning. This is described in the SOI Model for Learning.The SOI was founded by Dr. Mary Meeker, a student of Guilford. During her teaching career at University of Southern California, Loyola-Marymount, and the University of California, Northridge, Dr. Meeker researched Guilford's model and validated its relevance to education. Her book, The Structure of Intellect: Its Interpretation and Its Uses provided the foundation for applying Guilford's theory. The practical corollary to this book is the SOI Interpretation Guide.
