Intelligence

Who would have been most enthusiastic about the value of a single intelligence test score as an index of an individual's mental capacities? 

• Thurstone
• Spearman
• Gardner
• Sternberg

IQ = _________age/chronological age X 100

• Fundamental
• Mental
• Actual
• Legal

Those who score above average on tests of mathematical aptitude are also likely to score above average on tests of verbal aptitude. According to Spearman, this best illustrates the importance of: 

• predictive validity
• factor analysis
• the g factor
• reliability

These tests attempt to predict the test takers future performance.  

• Aptitude
• Acheivement
• Assessment
• Standardized

96% of people fall within 30 points of what IQ score?

• 80
• 90
• 100
• 110

A statistical procedure that identifies clusters of test items that seem to tap a common ability is called

• correlational measurement
• standardization
• factor analysis
• reliability assessment

The ability to control one's impulses and delay immediate pleasures in pursuit of long-term goals is most clearly a characteristic of:

• emotional intelligence
• heritability
• mental age
• divergent thinking

Although Nicole scored well above average on the SAT, she frequently loses her temper and needlessly antagonizes even her best friends. Her behavior best illustrates a low level of:

• convergent thinking
• validity
• mental age
• emotional intelligence

To assess mental age, Binet and Simon measured children's 

• head size
• reasoning skills
• neural processing speed
• creative abilities

Binet and Terman would have been most likely to disagree about the: 

• possibility of predicting people's academic success from intelligence scores
• need to standardize intelligence tests
• extent to which intelligence is determined by heredity
• definition of mental age
