Abstract
In this chapter, we will explore several important questions about human mental abilities. In many ways, these questions are similar to those that we have addressed throughout this book in the context of personality variation. We will begin with the issue of the structure of mental abilities: Is there a general tendency for some people to be “smarter” than others across the full array of intellectual tasks? Or, is there a tendency for some people to be “smart” at some intellectual tasks and for other people to be “smart” at other such tasks?
