          Abstract

          Recentes estudos sobre o desenvolvimento cognitivo adulto referem-se à distinção entre inteligência fluida como a capacidade geral de relacionar idéias complexas, formar conceitos abstratos e derivar implicações lógicas a partir de regras gerais e inteligência cristalizada como a capacidade de derivar conhecimento a partir de esquemas organizados de informações sobre disciplinas específicas. Para verificar a possível relação entre a habilidade cognitiva requerida e a área de conhecimento, este estudo foi proposto com o objetivo de investigar as correlações entre medidas de inteligência fluida e cristalizada com desempenho acadêmico em 960 alunos ingressantes dos cursos de Medicina, Odontologia, Engenharia Civil, Matemática, Psicologia, Pedagogia, Letras e Administração. As correlações encontradas indicam que o desempenho acadêmico está associado a diferentes perfis de habilidades cognitivas.

          Translated abstract

          Recent studies of adult cognitive development have distinguished two core abilities: fluid intelligence as a general capacity to infer complex relationships, abstract concepts, and to deduce logical implications from general rules; and crystallized intelligence as a capacity to solve problems by using organized knowledge schemes from specific disciplines. In order to investigate a possible relationship between cognitive abilities and area of study, this research studied the correlation between fluid and crystallized intelligence measures and academic achievement among 960 freshmen students of eight areas of study: Medicine, Dentistry, Psychology, Business, Engineering, Mathematics, Education, and Literature. The results have indicated that the academic achievement is correlated with different abilities profile.
