Eysenck

H. J. Eysenck and Eysenck's (1985) intelligence A includes all genetically determined, physiologically mediated forms of intelligence. Intelligence A can be measured by such means as electroencephalograms (EEGs) and reaction times on simple cognitive tasks (RTs). Intelligence B includes environmentally determined forms of intelligence, such as social or practical intelligence. Intelligence C is that form of intelligence measured by psychometric tests.
