Once a Cat and a Fox were traveling together. As they went along, picking up provisions on the way—a stray mouse here, a fat chicken there—they began an argument to while away the time between bites. And, as usually happens when comrades argue, the talk began to get personal.
"You think you are extremely clever, don't you?" said the Fox. "Do you pretend to know more than I? Why, I know a whole sackful of tricks!"
"Well," retorted the Cat, "I admit I know one trick only, but that one, let me tell you, is worth a thousand of yours!"
Just then, close by, they heard a hunter's horn and the yelping of a pack of hounds. In an instant the Cat was up a tree, hiding among the leaves.
"This is my trick," he called to the Fox. "Now let me see what yours are worth."
But the Fox had so many plans for escape he could not decide which one to try first. He dodged here and there with the hounds at his heels. He doubled on his tracks, he ran at top speed, he entered a dozen burrows,—but all in vain. The hounds caught him, and soon put an end to the boaster and all his tricks.

Generic intelligence refers to the overall, broad cognitive ability that an individual possesses. It's a general concept that encompasses a range of cognitive skills, including memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and learning. In an educational context for undergraduates, think of generic intelligence as the foundational mental capacity that enables you to adapt to new situations, solve diverse problems, and acquire knowledge in various domains. It's not limited to academic learning but also includes practical problem-solving and everyday reasoning. This concept suggests that some aspects of intelligence are universal and not specific to a particular skill or area of knowledge.

IQ, or Intelligence Quotient, is a numerical measure of a person's cognitive abilities relative to their age group. By evaluating a range of cognitive skills, so-called "IQ tests" attempt to quantify the g factor, providing a score that reflects an individual's overall intellectual ability. An average IQ score is set at 100, with the majority of people scoring within a range around this center point. IQ tests aim to quantify cognitive capability and potential, providing a standardized way to evaluate intellectual abilities across different individuals.

The 'g factor,' or general intelligence factor, is a theoretical construct proposed by psychologist Charles Spearman. It suggests that a single, underlying intelligence influences an individual's performance across various cognitive tasks. In simpler terms, if you're good at one intellectual task, you're likely to be good at others because of this general intelligence. For undergraduates, this concept implies that some people have a higher overall cognitive ability that contributes to their performance in different academic and intellectual areas. It's a controversial yet influential idea in psychology, as it argues for a single, quantifiable measure of intelligence rather than multiple, distinct abilities.

This is an IQ test loosely modeled after Raven's Progressive Matrices. The questions take the form of a 3x3 matrix from which one tile is missing. For each question there are eight possible answers A-H. You must choose the tile that completes that matrix best.
Take Your time. When done earlier than Your colleagues, feel free to take a break.

Contrasting traditional views that focus on a single, general intelligence, Theory of Multiple Intelligences proposed by Howard Gardner in 1983 posits that humans possess a variety of distinct intelligences. These include linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic intelligences. Each intelligence represents a different way of processing information and solving problems, challenging the notion of intelligence as a singular, measurable trait. This theory emphasizes the unique cognitive strengths individuals have and suggests a more personalized approach to education and learning.

Gardner identifies several key criteria that a cognitive ability must meet to be considered an intelligence:
Potential Isolation by Brain Damage
Existence of Savants, Prodigies, and Other Exceptional Individuals
An Identifiable Core Operation or Set of Operations
A Distinct Developmental Trajectory
An Evolutionary History and Evolutionary Plausibility
Support from Experimental Psychological Tasks
Support from Psychometric Findings
Susceptibility to Encoding in a Symbol System

- Subsequently, You move the finger/cursor over the first syllable/word. You pronounce the segment only when its background has green color.
- You gradually progress from syllable to syllable and segment to segment. You always start pronouncing certain segment only when it is green.
