The hierarchical model proposes that specific abilities (such as verbal reasoning or spatial ability) exist and are important, but they are also related to each other and to a general intelligence factor. This model is contrasted with the multiple intelligences model, which proposes that there are independent intelligences that are not necessarily related to each other. The terms "topical" and "fluid" are not typically used to describe models of intelligence.
