Wisdom and Intelligence

At the 3/4s point in a too-long SAT preparation course (for the SAT college entrance exam), I'm learning about teenagers and how to score better on standardized tests. Working with the kids is, well, odd more than anything else. Probably as strange for them as it is for me. (In teenage language, that "strange" translates to "boring", I'm sure.) But some things stand out more clearly, more detailed. They're getting better at the test, and I'm reminded about developing formal conceptual abilities. Some of the details about transitioning between the developmental levels of Understanding and Appreciation are standing out more clearly to me.
