Away from water. I hope this helps! :)
A skill is an ability that allows you to perform a specific task effectively.
The theory of fluid intelligence is based on the distinction between the fluid and crystal intelligences. The crystal intelligence is based on the knowledge that one has already and the the fluid intelligence is the intelligence to respond to future and unpredictable challenges.
I think that this distinction is very fitting and that the fluid intelligence was probably the one that drove human evolution; and perhaps is the more relevant of the intelligences.
