Summary
Some people are better at some things than others; some of those people who are better are better not only at some things, but at lots of things. The study of intelligence evolved in part to try to explain these individual differences. As time has gone by, the field of human intelligence has addressed many other questions as well. But this question of accounting for individual differences in performance that seem at least in part based on “mental abilities” has driven the field ever since its beginning.
