1. Fluid and Crystallized Intelligence

   • Fluid Intelligence is responsible for processing Information while crystallized intelligence is responsible for the knowledge one gains from experience. An example would resolving mind puzzles (crystallized) and creating ways out of difficult situations and problem solving (fluid) (Grison & Gazzaniga, 2019, pg. 314, para. 2)

2. Triarchic Theory

   • The theory states that each person has three different intelligences made up of analytical, creative, and practical intelligence. Practical/emotional intelligence is recognizing and managing emotions. Analytical is the ability for logical reasoning, and creative intelligence is the ability to generate new ideas. An example could be up cycling. Turing an object into something new to get more usage out of it (creative intelligence) (Grison & Gazzaniga, 2019, pg. 314, para.5).

3. General Intelligence

   • One factor is able to determine ones intelligence and how much knowledge they have overall. An example would be an IQ test. A test that rates ones intelligence (Grison & Gazzaniga, 2019, pg 313, para, 8).

4. Emotional Intelligence

   • The theory in which one is able to manganese and use their emotions for personal and interpersonal relationships. An example is engaging with friends, and feeling what they are feeling- high emotional intelligence (Grison & Gazzaniga, 2019, pg. 314, para. 7).

5. Multiple Intelligence

   • The theory in which people are able to have more than one type of intelligence. Meaning someone can be both musically inclined and have a love for reading (linguistics) (Grison & Gazzaniga, 2019, pg. 314, para. 3)

       • I find that I love music and can remember almost every word to songs after a few listens. After one week of Taylor Swift's 10-minute All Too Well (Taylor's Version) came out, I knew the words after a week. I also are up with my dad always playing guitar. I never learned, I am so bad at it. 5/10

       • I only recently got into reading (August of 2020) and I have read 13 books since then! Reading is such a passion for me now. It made me think out writing small things out for either a story I would never publish or poems or lyrics to a song that I think could sound cool. 9/10
