3.  Intelligence: (Person's capacity to) Acquire knowledge (i.e. learn and understand) Apply knowledge (solve problems) Engage in abstract reasoning.  Intelligence Quotient: (IQ) The score you get on an intelligence test. Originally, it was a quotient (a ratio)-  IQ= MA/CA x 100 [MA is mental age, CA is chronological age]. Today, scores are calibrated against norms of actual population scores.

5. The ability to profit from experience, acquire knowledge, think abstractly, act purposefully, or adapt to changes in the environment. Psychometrics: Measurement of mental abilities, traits, and processes IQ TEST: MA (Mental Age) is what your score would be for a general age on average, scoring the average score for a 12 year old when you are 7 would give you a MA of 12.  Stanford-Binet  WAIS (Weshler Adult Intelligence Scale)  WISC (Weshler Intelligence Scale for Children)  Problems with Bias of IQ test

6. Formal reasoning problems: All information needed to solve is right there. Deductive reasoning: Conclusion follows necessarily from certain premises. If the premises are true, the conclusion must be true. Inductive reasoning: The premises provide support for a conclusion. It is still possible for the conclusion to be false.
