Answer to Question 1

Answers should focus on multidimensionality of intelligence and the evidence that
supports it, the fact that different abilities have different patterns of development in
adulthood, and that intelligence may be shaped by experience. Looking at the type
of intelligence measured by standard IQ tests will reveal a different picture than
looking at a variety of abilities.

Answer to Question 2

Answers will vary. The best answers will describe a specific and measurable
intelligence and a research design appropriate to studying it.
