The purpose of this article is to disclose and comment upon some of the conceptual and empirical confusions that confront a revised concept of intelligence which sees intelligence as general skill(s) that can be directly taught rather than as a relatively fixed ability. Implications for teaching thinking skills are discussed. (IAH)
