Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) Theory of Cognitive Abilities in 3D?

While preparing for a talk a few months ago, I made this slide showing conceptual groupings of CHC Theory broad abilities. I spent a lot of time tweaking it.

Then, after working late into the night, my thoughts started becoming looser and at the time I thought that this picture was a good idea:

Don’t ask me what all the 3D effects and the projected shadows might mean. I’m not really sure what I was thinking…maybe that the speed components of ability are distinct from and yet are closely integrated with their associated the power abilities?

At any rate, it was fun to make…
