Fluid and Crystallized Intelligence

There are arguably two types of intelligence. Fluid intelligence is your ability to reason quickly. It relies on the ability to hold attention and benefits from a strong working memory. Crystallized intelligence is your ability to apply knowledge from prior learning that was stored in your long term memory. To illustrate how the two work together, we created a short fairytale - a story of a young man, who wants to save a princess that was captured by an evil witch.

Scientists have long known that our ability to think quickly, also known as fluid intelligence, peaks around age 20 and then begins a slow decline. However, more recent findings, including a new study from neuroscientists at MIT suggest that the real picture is much more complex.

    A problem with the idea of "intelligence" is that we tend to assume its necessarily positive quality. The more "intelligence" you have, the better. That's not necessarily the case. A better guide is to think of "fluid" intelligence as processing speed and "crystallised" intelligence as sedimented experience. The overall impact of these "two" intelligences is always their sum, and to suggest otherwise is an error. For example, in your example, Arthur was not reckoning ex nihilo when he stood on the pressure pad, he was using his experience poetically or metaphorically, i.e. by processing analogues and similarities, to come up with a novel solution. He may not have stood on a pressure pad previously, but he had garnered and stored experience that was tangentially relevant. However, faster processing speed is of little, no or even negative value if the sedimented knowledge you are working with is faulty, skewed, outmoded, or otherwise not fit for purpose. That is why some very "smart" people do very stupid things. Generally speaking, we are living in a culture in which our "fluid" intelligence (i.e. our processing speed) is massively accelerated by digital/computing technologies, but where our shared "crystallised" intelligence (i.e. our stock of received wisdom and accepted ideas) is inept and deathly. We're super-intelligent and super-self-destructive. There's no paradox, it's just that "intelligence", in and of itself, is of no benefit. To be advantageous, it must be allied to wisdom.

    This video starts with "There are arguably two types of intelligence." This is a statement intended to shut down any thought or questioning about how many types of intelligence there are. That there are two types of intelligence has not been proven. There could be more than two types of intelligence, or a range of intelligence based on more than two factors.

Where the protagonist sees the witch AND the family both trying to use him, he loses it ( hence the fire,) and utterly destroyed both because he doesn't want to put up with that crap.

    Um... This is wrong, but kinda right in a different way. Intelligence is the application of knowledge. Crystalized, in this context, really just means how wide a persons knowledge base is, ie, how many ideas have they been exposed to in their life. This also means the plot is wrong, as it would look more like an S curve, mostly flat until the pre-teen years as we don't have enough to be "fully conscious" until then. The fluid aspect is really a vertical aspect, or what we might also call the narrow understanding. Street smarts, by another name. The knowledge and understanding might not be known, but the situational instinct is there. The graph for this is close, as it climes early in life and may peak by late 20's for most people. *would expect the drop in ability to more extreme; can't teach an old dog new tricks, etc.
