Types of intelligence


Fluid & Crystallized Intelligence

Did you know there are two basic types of intelligence? Thanks to psychologist Raymond Cattell & John L. Horn, we can now view intelligence from two different aspects. You can't have on without the other – they compliment each other and everyone embodies both.

Fluid Intelligence
•ability to reason quickly and to think abstractly.
•A factor in general intelligence.
•ability to reason and deal with complex information around us.
•This ability is considered independent of learning, experience, and education.
•continues to increase throughout childhood and adulthood.
•peaks in adolescence and begins to decline progressively beginning around age 30 or 40.

Crystallized Intelligence
•knowledge and skills that are accumulated over a lifetime.
•A factor in general intelligence.
•ability to reason and make sense of abstract information.
•This type of intelligence is based upon facts and rooted in experiences.
•continues to increase throughout childhood and adulthood.
•knowledge that comes from prior learning and past experiences.
