Thank you. These 2 questions have been stumping me.
1. I chose answer B. because fluid intelligence is what you learn and crystallized is what you have learned and was through experience...
2. I chose answer A. because IQ tests were formed to reflect school performance...
Please help me! I think these are right. Are they?

I don't see how B can be the correct answer to # 1. Intelligence has nothing to do with knowledge that has been forgotten.
Fluid intelligence is often measured by the performance part of an IQ test while crystallized intelligence relates strongly with the verbal parts of the test. Fluid intelligence is also measured by how quickly a person can solve a new problem, regardless of previous knowledge.

For # 2, the emphasis is upon IQ tests that ask for factual knowledge. For that reason, B seems like the best answer. Also -- IQ tests were first developed by the U.S. army during World War I to determine the abilities of incoming soldiers. They later were used in schools to predict academic achievement.
