Ms. Reagan, who is a teacher, agrees more with Howard Gardner’s theory of intelligence than Charles Spearman’s theory of intelligence. Which of the following scenarios would she most agree with?
Ms. Reagan thinks that her students exhibit more than one type of intelligence. For example, she notices her student Noel plays well with others as well as alone.
Ms. Reagan's student Shuri is excellent at math, so she concludes that Shuri must also have high verbal ability.
Ms. Reagan observes that her student Lenny is practical, creative, and analytical, so she concludes that Lenny must be the most intelligent person in her class.
Because Jenny can memorize every book she reads, Ms. Reagan concludes that she must have a high IQ.

A researcher wanted to test the psychometric properties of a new intelligence test for children. She administered the test twice, two months apart, to children in a fourth-grade classroom. On the second administration, she noticed that the children who performed well were not the same children who performed well on the first administration and that there appeared to be no relationship between student performance on the first and second administration of the test. Based on this scenario, the psychological construct missing from this intelligence test is
test-retest reliability, because the researcher is administering the same test twice
split-half reliability, because the researcher is administering the same test twice
split-half reliability, because the researcher is administering equivalent forms of the same test twice
internal-consistency reliability, because the researcher is administering a different test twice
Standardization refers to the process of
determining the accuracy with which a test measures what it's supposed to
defining meaningful scores relative to a representative pretested group
determining the consistency of test scores obtained by retesting people
measuring the success with which a test predicts the behavior it is designed to predict
The test created by Alfred Binet was designed to
measure inborn intelligence in adults
measure inborn intelligence in children
predict school performance in children
identify intellectually disabled children so they could be institutionalized
If a test designed to indicate which applicants are likely to perform the best on the job fails to do so, the test has
low reliability
low content validity
low predictive validity
not been standardized
The concept of g factor implies that intelligence
is a single overall ability
is several specific abilities
cannot be defined or measured
is a reified concept
Jack takes the same test of mechanical reasoning on several different days and gets virtually identical scores. This suggests that the test has
high content validity
high reliabilty
high predicative validity
been standardized
You would not use a test of hearing acuity as an intelligence test because it would lack
content reliability

predictive validity

What is the benefit of standardizing an intelligence test?
to counter rising intelligence test scores
to provide a basis for comparing scores against a pretested group
to determine if the test yields dependably consistent results
to measure the extent to which the test actually predicts what it promises
Achievement tests are to aptitude tests as
verbal performance is to spatial performance
elementary school skills are to secondary school skills
reliability is to validity
measurement is to prediction
