Answer to Question 1

Primary mental abilities are groups of related intellectual skills while secondary mental abilities are broader intellectual skills that subsume and organize the primary abilities. Fluid intelligence consists of the abilities that make you a flexible and adaptive thinker, that allow for inferences, and allow for understanding of relationships among concepts. Crystallized intelligence is that knowledge you have acquired through life experience and education in a particular culture. Crystallized intelligence is based partly on the quality of a person's underlying fluid intelligence. Fluid intelligence declines throughout adulthood, whereas crystallized intelligence improves.
