1. Testing and Intelligence Review – Test Tuesday

2. 25 If Jane's intelligence quotient is 100, we know that she has a • perfect score on a set of age-related tests. • test performance superior to 90% of other children the same age who took the test. • mental age typical of children who have the same chronological age. • mental age below those of children with the same chronological age. • None of the above

3. 25 In Binet's test of intelligence, items included at each age level were those which • could be answered by an average child of that age • measured rote learning and memory • were only appropriate for adults • revealed a child's grade level in school • required creative as well as correct answers.

4. 25 Which of the following is an approach to measuring reliability? • Negative correlation • double-blind • Content • test-retest • Concurrent

5. 25 Which of the following statements concerning the relationship between inspection time and IQ is true? • Inspection time is not important • The shorter the inspection time, the greater the intelligence • Inspection time was not always used in intelligence testing • The shorter the inspection time, the lower the intelligence • Inspection time and intelligence are not related.

6. 25 __________ is the capacity for learning certain and specific abilities. • Achievement • Intelligence • Aptitude • Scholastics • Metacognition

8. 25 It can be argued that standardized testing (such as the SAT) is beneficial because • it can help label people as genius and gifted • They are inexpensive • there is a perfect correlation between standardized tests and academic performance • they always predict future occupational success • they are fair and more objective

9. 25 A school curriculum built on Howard Gardner's theory of intelligence would provide • Be a unfair environment to learn • neuromuscular training because such skills underlie general intelligence • training in logic, rhetoric, philosophy and math to strengthen the general factor in intelligence • emphasis on creative, artistic abilities rather than the traditional emphasis on cognitive abilities • a diverse curriculum with education in skills not traditionally associated with IQ.

12. 25 The distribution of IQ scores • is approximately normal or bell-shaped • shows that most people score between 80 and 100 • reveals a difference in the average for men and women • falls off abruptly above 100. • Has been proven to be culturally biased

13. Participant Scores

14. 25 The term "g-factor," written about by Spearman, refers to • generation factors • general abilities • Gardner factors • group factors • Group polarization

15. 25 A psychologist administers an intelligence test to 100 fourth graders. One month later the psychologist returns and re-administers the test.

21. 25 A large number of people were asked to answer only the odd-numbered questions on a test. Later, they are asked to answer only the even-numbered questions. By comparing each person's two scores, a determination of the test's __________ reliability could be made. • split-half • equivalent form • test-retest • alternative form • Predictive

22. 25 A test is said to be reliable if it • measures the skill it claims to test • is unaffected by external factors such as the time of administration • gives about the same score to a person when given on different occasions • allows one to correctly predict who will be successful when placed in a real-life situation. • It has been used for many years with only a few errors

23. 25 Which of the following best describes the relationship between creativity and intelligence? • Creativity appears to depend on the ability to think imaginatively and has little if any relationship to intelligence. • Creativity is best understood as a certain kind of intelligence. • The more intelligent a person is, the greater his or her creativity. • A certain level of intelligence is necessary but not sufficient for creativity. • Creativity doesn’t predict any type of future success

24. 25 Achievement tests are designed to: • measure desire and potential capacity to successfully meet challenges. • assess ability to produce novel and valuable ideas. • compare an individual's personality with those of highly successful people. • assess learned knowledge or skills. • Be a overall picture of a person’s potential in life
