Abstract
Even though the study of mental abilities is one of the most widely researched areas in psychology, a number of often related definitional and methodological issues remain unresolved. There are several reasons for this, including the complicated nature of the construct intelligence, measurement issues, and problems concerning how individual and group differences in measured intelligence are to be explained and interpreted.
