Q1. Discuss the difference between fluid and crystalized intelligence.

ANS.
Fluid Intelligence refers to the ability to reason, analyze, and solve problems.
When we use fluid intelligence, we aren’t relying on any pre-existing knowledge.
Instead, we are using logic, pattern recognition, and abstract thinking to solve new
problems.

Crystallized Intelligence refers to the knowledge you acquire through experience

and education. When you use crystallized intelligence, you reference your pre-
existing knowledge: facts, skills, and information you learned in school or from past
experience.

Fluid vs Crystallized Intelligence :-

 The theory contends that there are two distinct types of intelligence. It
challenges, and extends, the concept of g, or generalized intelligence factor.
 Fluid intelligence is the ability to use logic and solve problems in new or novel
situations without reference to pre-existing knowledge.
 Crystallized intelligence is the ability to use knowledge that was previously
acquired through education and experience.
 Fluid intelligence declines with age, while crystallized intelligence is
maintained or improved.

Q2. Explain the different types of stress. State the different ways of
dealing stress.
ANS. Types of stress are:-

 Acute Stress usually brief. It is the most common and frequent

presentation. Acute stress is most often caused by reactive thinking.
Negative thoughts predominate about situations or events that have recently
occurred, or upcoming situations, events, or demands in the near future.
 Episodic Acute Stress The individuals who frequently suffer acute stress
often live a life of chaos and crisis. They are always in a rush or feel
 pressured. They take on many responsibilities, and usually cannot stay
organized with so many time demands. These individuals are perpetually in
the grips of acute stress overload.
 Chronic Stress Chronic stress is the most harmful type of stress. If chronic
stress is left untreated over a long period of time, it can significantly and
often irreversibly damage your physical health and deteriorate your mental
health.

Different ways of dealing stress are:-

 Management of time
 Doing breathing exercise
 Meditation and relaxation techniques
 Avoiding alcohol and nicotine
 Indulge in physical activities
