S ummary . Methods for operationally distinguishing between generically different kinds of traits and states were described in some detail, prior to demonstrating the use of the methods to describe human abilities. The results indicated that a distinction between fluid intelligence, crystallised intelligence, broad fluency and broad visualisation exists primarily at the trait level, although states of fluency and visualisation were found to exist in attenuated form independently of reliable within‐person variations in intelligence.
