• D. Componential intelligence also refers to the traditional notion of intelligence. Correct. It involves analytical thinking, problem-solving, and is close to traditional IQ.

• E. Contextual intelligence refers to practical intelligence, known as 'Street Smart'. Correct. It is the ability to adapt to, shape, or select environments – practical application of knowledge.
