Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elsa's skills in understanding income tax forms, dealing with different types of people, and troubleshooting around the home and office are indicative of practical intelligence, which involves the ability to adapt to and solve real-life problems in various contexts. This type of intelligence is not necessarily captured by traditional intelligence tests, which focus more on abstract reasoning abilities (i.e. fluid intelligence).
