Intelligence is generally divided into two categories: crystallized and fluid. While crystallized intelligence relies on accumulated facts, fluid intelligence is your ability to navigate entirely new problems without relying on prior experience. If you find yourself quickly adjusting to sudden changes at work, recognizing unspoken patterns in human behavior, or calmly pivoting when a plan falls apart, you are displaying high fluid intelligence.
