%X in the present work we analyse the processes that regulate the organi-zation of beliefs about intelligence in adolescents, namely the influence of the £¿familiarity£¿ with the object of the representation. results show that subjects for whom intelligence is an unfamiliar topic explain it in a biological way and repre-sent it as a natural gift. we also research the relations among the £¿familiarity£¿ principle, the social repre-sentations of intelligence, and the personal conceptions of intelligence. results show that some beliefs about £¿alternative intelligences£¿ to the school definitions predict negatively static conceptions and positively dynamic conceptions. we also find that a belief in the £¿natural inequality£¿ of intelligence is a hegemonic lay theory, shared both by static and dynamic subjects.
