What will be an ideal response?
An economical way of handling a number of factors of the mind is through a hierarchical model of intelligence. Cattell's model proposed that general intelligence comprises two major subfactors. They are fluid ability and crystallized ability. Fluid ability is speed and accuracy of abstract reasoning, especially for novel problems. Crystalized ability is accumulated knowledge and vocabulary. Subsumed within these two major subfactors are other, more specific factors.
