According to psychology, there are two different types of intelligence:
Crystalized intelligence: refers to the ability to use knowledge that was previously learned (usually in the school)
Fluid intelligence: refers to the ability to solve <u>new problems in novel situations without a pre-existing knowledge to do so. </u>
In this example, Dominique is shown a series of triangles and is asked to guess what the next triangle in the series might look like. <u>This is a novel task that doesn't have to do with knowledge previously learned by Dominique. </u>Therefore, the person testing Dominique is most likely assessing fluid intelligence
