👉 The quoted fluid, often referred to as "fluid intelligence," is a cognitive ability that allows individuals to solve problems and think abstractly without relying on prior knowledge or experience. This form of intelligence is typically assessed through tasks that require reasoning, pattern recognition, and the manipulation of information in novel situations. Fluid intelligence is considered a key component of general intelligence (often measured by IQ tests) and is thought to decline with age, although it can be maintained or even improved through mental exercises and new learning experiences. It is distinct from crystallized intelligence, which relies on accumulated knowledge and skills acquired over a lifetime.
