I am struggling with translating the Swedish word 'begåvning', as well as 'begåvad'. None of the following words sound right: intelligence, ability, talent.
The context is a psychological assessment and WAIS-IV testing, with sentences such as ' testresultaten visar i grunden en god begåvning', and 'hon verkan begåvning'. Any help appreciated!

intellect
Denna möjligheten skulle passa också bra till sammanhanget.
Emellertid har jag lite svårt att förstå varför skulle talent eller ability låta konstigt för det angivna sammanhanget. Det handlar om ett intelligenstest, eller hur?
Vad menas med "hon verkan begåvning"? Det ser ju ganska konstigt ut.

intelligence
I would go for this, as the most straightforward translation. "Hon verkar begåvad" - "She seems intelligent". But in the context of a specific "begåvning", such as "musikalisk begåvning", I would say aptitude.
