Extract

“General Intelligence” is a will-o’-the-wisp, and Psychologists have been chasing it with Tests for a considerable time. Whether it has yet been brought to heel and can be exactly measured is still open to question, but the modern Intelligence Tests certainly discover some kind of innate ability.
