The data-based approach to intelligence, as proposed by John Carroll, suggests that there are eight mid-level abilities (such as spatial, numeric, and verbal abilities) that contribute to a higher-level general intelligence factor.

Choice C is partially correct, as there are indeed many factors that contribute to intelligence, but the data-based approach provides a way to organize these factors into a cohesive framework. Choice D is also incorrect, as modern intelligence tests are designed to measure a range of mid-level abilities, although they may not capture every aspect of intelligence.
