Describe Fluid Intelligence and Crystallized Intelligence. 

Fluid Intelligence- Ability to be a flexible thinker, an adaptive thinker, have the ability to make inferences, understand relations among concepts. (be given a problem you can infer from the first problem and use the same strategy to see if it works for the second problem) i.e puzzles, mazes etc. 


Crystallized Intelligence: Knowledge acquired by life experience and education in a specific culture. It increases knowledge. It includes breath of knowledge, comprehension of communication, judgment and sophisticated action with information, ability to evaluate experience. ability to remember historical facts, definitions, sports trivia.
