The Culture-Fair Intelligence Test
The Culture-Fair Intelligence Test was developed by Raymond Cattell to measure intelligence using a less biased approach. Cattle argued that a general intelligence (g) exists. General intelligence (g) consists of two parts: fluid intelligence (the capacity to think logically and solve problems in situations) and crystallized intelligence (the ability to use skills, knowledge, and experience). Intelligence tests should be free of cultural bias such as differences in language and education type.
This nonverbal IQ test uses one type of question with which your intelligence is assessed. Each question consists of a 3 by 3 matrix, with a question mark in one of the cells. The tester attempts to identify the missing element that completes a pattern of shapes by picking the correct element out of 8 options.
One of the pros of this concept is that there is a need for unbiased testing. I also agree that there are different types of intelligences. The test it still considered controversial by some academics.

This test sounds really interesting as the way you depicted it here. Two parts of General Intelligence ;Fluid and Crystal seems working well together giving a somehow a good picture of Intelligence as it
Is free of cultural biases giving a room for people of diverse cultures. However, like other IQ tests it carries few ambiguities.
An interesting concept. I took the test and found that it's like puzzles and requires some resolve.
I've found this bit in WikiPedia:
The rationale for the separation of Gf and Gc was to explain individuals' cognitive development over time. While Gf and Gc have been found to be highly correlated, they differ in the way they change over a lifetime. Gf tends to peak at around age 20, slowly declining thereafter. In contrast, Gc is stable or increases across adulthood. A single general factor has been criticized as obscuring this bifurcated pattern of development. Cattell argued that Gf reflected individual differences in the efficiency of the central nervous system. Gc was, in Cattell's thinking, the result of a person investing his or her Gf in learning experiences throughout life.
The negative correlation between Gf and age maybe is the, on average, diminishing performance of the Executive Network and the positive correlation of Gc and age might be the result of improving performance of Fast Thinking (i.e. experience). That would be in-line with gerontological neurology but it would contradict the claim that intelligence is a constant personal capacity.
