Answer to Question 2

Practical intelligence is the broad range of skills related to how individuals shape, select, or adapt to their physical and social environments. The extent to which a practical problem evokes an emotional reaction, in conjunction with experience and one's preferred mode of thinking, determines whether one will use a cognitive analysis (thinking one's way through the problem), a problem-focused action (tackling the problem head-on by doing something about it), passive-dependent behavior (withdrawing from the situation), or avoidant thinking and denial (rationalizing to redefine the problem and so minimize its seriousness). Practical intelligence is realistic, real-world problem solving. Fluid intelligence is an expression of the neurophysiological architecture of the mind. Crystallized intelligence comes from the bodies of knowledge that are available from and mediated through one's culture.
