Intelligence is best defined as:
Ability to memorize facts
Ability to solve mathematical problems
Ability to adapt to the environment and solve problems
Speed of reaction
The concept of intelligence primarily emphasizes:
Heredity only
Environmental influence only
Both heredity and environment
Physical growth
Intelligence is considered a:
Fixed trait
Static ability
Dynamic and developing ability
Motor skill
According to modern psychologists, intelligence is:
Unit structure
Multi-dimensional
Unmeasurable
Only academic
Intelligence helps individuals to:
Perform routine tasks
Adjust effectively to new situations
Increase physical strength
Improve memory alone
Theories of intelligence attempt to explain:
Brain structure
Learning styles
Nature and organization of intelligence
Personality traits
Which of the following is NOT a theory of intelligence?
Factor theory
Information processing theory
Psychoanalytic theory
Multiple intelligence theory
Traditional theories of intelligence focused mainly on:
Emotional skills
Cognitive abilities
Social interaction
Moral reasoning
Factor theories explain intelligence in terms of:
Brain size
Learning speed
Factors or abilities
Emotional control
Who proposed the Two-Factor Theory of Intelligence?
Thurstone
Guilford
Spearman
Sternberg
Spearman’s theory includes:
G factor and S factor
Verbal and performance factors
Primary mental abilities
Three types of intelligence
The G factor represents:
Specific ability
General intelligence
Emotional intelligence
Creative intelligence
The S factor refers to:
Social intelligence
Sensory ability
Specific ability
Spatial ability
A major criticism of Spearman’s theory is that it:
Overemphasizes heredity
Ignores general intelligence
Oversimplifies intelligence
Focuses on creativity
Thurstone proposed:
One general factor
Seven primary mental abilities
Three types of intelligence
Eight intelligences
Which is NOT one of Thurstone’s primary mental abilities?
Verbal comprehension
Numerical ability
Musical ability
Reasoning
Thurstone’s theory challenged:
Guilford’s model
Spearman’s G factor
Gardner’s theory
Sternberg’s theory
The SI model was proposed by:
Spearman
Thurstone
Guilford
Gardner
Guilford’s model consists of:
Two dimensions
Three dimensions
Four dimensions
Five dimensions
The three dimensions in SI model are:
Content, context, product
Operation, content, product
Ability, skill, intelligence
Memory, reasoning, creativity
Guilford’s model proposed up to:
60 abilities
90 abilities
120 abilities
150 abilities
A major contribution of Guilford’s model is emphasis on:
Memory
Creativity
Emotional intelligence
IQ testing
The theory of multiple intelligences was proposed by:
Sternberg
Guilford
Gardner
Spearman
Gardner initially proposed:
5 intelligences
7 intelligences
9 intelligences
11 intelligences
Which is NOT a type of intelligence proposed by Gardner?
Linguistic
Logical-mathematical
Emotional
Bodily-kinesthetic
Musical intelligence relates to:
Numbers
Words
Sounds and rhythm
Visual images
Interpersonal intelligence involves:
Self-awareness
Understanding others
Logical reasoning
Musical skills
A criticism of Gardner’s theory is:
Lack of empirical testing
Overemphasis on IQ
Ignoring creativity
Focus on academics
IQ stands for:
Intelligence Quotient
Intellectual Quality
Intelligence Quality
Intellectual Quotient
The formula for IQ was proposed by:
Spearman
Stern
Binet
Terman
IQ is calculated as:
MA + CA × 100
CA / MA × 100
MA / CA × 100
MA − CA
An IQ of 100 indicates:
Superior intelligence
Inferior intelligence
Average intelligence
One limitation of IQ is that it:
Measures creativity well
Measures emotional intelligence
Is culture-biased
Measures motivation
The first intelligence test was developed by:
Terman
Wechsler
Binet and Simon
Spearman
The Binet-Simon test emphasized:
Emotional intelligence
Mental age
Social intelligence
Creativity
Wechsler tests measure:
Only verbal intelligence
Only performance intelligence
Both verbal and performance intelligence
Emotional intelligence
An example of an individual intelligence test is:
Army Alpha
Army Beta
Stanford-Binet
Group aptitude test
A major criticism of intelligence tests is that they:
Are unreliable
Ignore heredity
Are culturally biased
Are too easy
Sternberg proposed:
Two-factor theory
Structure of intellect
Triarchic theory
Multiple intelligence theory
Sternberg’s theory focuses on:
Brain anatomy
Information processing
Emotional skills
Motor abilities
The three types of intelligence in Sternberg’s theory are:
Verbal, numerical, spatial
Analytical, creative, practical
Emotional, social, moral
Fluid, crystallized, general
Analytical intelligence is related to:
Street-smart skills
Creative problem solving
Academic problem solving
Emotional control
Practical intelligence is also known as:
Academic intelligence
Creative intelligence
Emotional intelligence
Street-smart intelligence
Creative intelligence involves:
Routine tasks
Novel problem solving
Memorization
Motor skills
Modern views of intelligence emphasize:
Single ability
Academic skills only
Cultural and contextual factors
IQ score alone
Intelligence is now seen as:
Fixed and inherited
Static and measurable only
Context-dependent and flexible
Unrelated to environment
A major criticism of traditional intelligence theories is that they:
Focus too much on environment
Ignore social and cultural aspects
Emphasize creativity
Are qualitative
Which theory best highlights cultural relevance of intelligence?
Spearman’s theory
Gardner’s theory
Sternberg’s theory
Two-factor theory
Intelligence tests should be used:
As the only measure of ability
Without cultural considerations
Along with other assessments
To label individuals permanently
The critical perspective suggests intelligence is best understood as:
A single score
A fixed trait
A complex, multi-dimensional construct
