Thurstone’s Primary Mental Ability Theory and 6. Kelley’s Multifactor Theory. 1.

Not long ago, Delhites used to curse the public transport system of the national capital. Errant, reckless and rash bus drivers, showing no sign of courtesy even to the ladies as well as the elderly, made commuting from one place to the other a painfully daunting task.It was difficult to tell whether the bus would stop at the allotted sight, whether it would reach the destination on time and whether it would stop on arrival or simply skip the waiting passengers. Usual fear of occasional breakdowns, long traffic jams, owing to processions, the over­all condition of the buses with torn, swinging seats, over-crowd­ing inside and the shrill music because of the rattling sound, inside had the people pray for an alternative.Anyone could keep neither his appointment, nor his appearance, when…

In one of Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poems, the brave and bold fighter McArthur is seriously wounded and is about to die. His General Bedivere feels sad and asks him what they would do without him. McArthur says: “Old order changes, yielding place to new.” Since then the line has become an adage as it contains the great reality of life-change is the law of nature.All the manifestations of nature-sun, moon, stars, trees, oceans, mountains, rivers, animals and birds undergo change.
