Intelligence 2

If a test is reliable, it means that

• it is given in the same way every time.
• it tests what it is suppose to test.
• it is a fair assessment.
• it yields consistent results.

Spearman argued that intelligence could be boiled down to one ability known as

• Spatial Intelligence
• Introverted Intelligence
• General Intelligence
• Extroverted Intelligence

Which of the following would provide the strongest evidence for the idea that intelligence is highly heritable?

• The IQ scores of parents are positively correlated with the scores of their children
• Monozygotic twins separated at birth have extremely similar IQ scores
• Dizgotic twins score more similarly on IQ tests than do other sibilings
• Different ethnic groups have different average IQ scores

Although her score on the personality test indicated that Mary was devoid of social grace, painfully shy, and frightened of other people, she is extremely popular and outgoing. This personality test lacks

• reliability.
• standardization.
• consistency.
• validity.

The Flynn effect is the finding that

• intelligence seems to increase with every generation.
• television has decreased intellectual performance.
• linguistic skills decline with age.
• the more times people take a test, the better they tend to score.

The fact that identical twins' IQ scores are so close together (highly correlated) even when they are raised apart suggests

• intelligence is strongly genetic
• intelligence has a strong environmental component
• Identical twins attend better schools than fraternal twins
• Adopted parents have a positive effect on intelligence.

When intelligence scores are graphed, they should create

• an increasing slope
• a normal bell curve
• an equilateral figure
• a negative correlation 

The ability to perceive, use, understand, and manage emotions is called? 

• Two-Factor Theory
• Emotional Intelligence 
• Multiple Intelligences

The formula for IQ is 

• chronilogical age x grade / 100

• mental age x chronilogical age

• mental age / chronological age  x 100

• chronological age / mental age  x 100

The most commonly used individual intelligence test is 

• ASVAB
• Stanford-Binet
• Jensen culture free assessment
