The concept of intelligence in cognitive science has been highly elusive. One pragmatic approach to understanding intelligence is to use classical intelligence tests, such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). In such tests, performance is assessed in a number of specific subtask items, and the performance across these items is then integrated to an
