Intelligence refers to the ability to understand complex ideas, learn from experiences, reason, and adapt to new situations. There are several theories of intelligence, including Spearman's two factors of general and specific intelligence, Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences consisting of nine types, and Sternberg's triarchic theory of analytical, creative, and practical intelligence. Intelligence is commonly measured using tests such as Binet's mental ability test, the Stanford-Binet test, and the Wechsler tests for children and adults. Individual differences in intelligence include mental retardation, with mild to profound classifications based on IQ ranges below 70, and giftedness, referring to those with IQs above 130.
