1. Charles Spearman believed:
• A) intelligence could not be measured by
only one IQ score.
• B) IQ alone can not predict success in
life.
• C) the g factor describes general, overall
intelligence.
• D) personality is more important
than IQ in measuring success.
2. Howard Gardner believes that
intelligence must be defined:
• A) by a single factor, called g.
• B) within the context of a particular
culture.
• C) in terms of Verbal, Performance
and Full Scale IQ’s.
• D) in terms of multiple factors.
3. Some people, mostly males with autism,
have extremely limited abilities; yet, they have
a specific ability far beyond the capabilities of
the average person. They have:
•
•
•
•
A) mental retardation.
B) the g factor.
C) inherited genius.
D) savant syndrome.
4. Robert Sternberg describes three
intelligences, including all of the
following, except:
•
•
•
•
A) Analytical.
B) Mathematical.
C) Creative.
D) Practical.
5. The statistical procedure which
identifies clusters of related items is
called:
•
•
•
•
A) factor analysis.
B) cluster computation.
C) chunking comparison.
D) correlation coefficient.
6. Being able to respond appropriately
when interacting with others suggests:
•
•
•
•
A) multiple intelligences.
B) street smarts.
C) emotional intelligence.
D) creative intelligence.
7. Studies of creative people suggest
five components of creativity, including
the personality described as:
•
•
•
•
A) a venturesome personality.
B) a stickler for details.
C) a strict follower of rules.
D) a loner.
8. Studies show that intelligent people
differ in their brain’s ability to adapt and
grow to the environment, called:
•
•
•
•
A) synaptic development.
B) neural plasticity.
C) developmental process.
D) inherited potential.
9. Creative people have a desire to
come up with new ideas as the result of:
•
•
•
•
A) getting paid for it.
B) being pressured to perform.
C) extrinsic motivation.
D) intrinsic motivation.
10. In considering the impact of
general intelligence on success:
• A) measured IQ is correlated with
obtaining academic success.
• B) emotional IQ is correlated with
being successful in one’s career.
• C) measured IQ is correlated with
obtaining a good job.
• D) all of the above.
11. Originally, IQ was determined
by calculating:
•
•
•
•
A) the average score on Binet’s test.
B) mental age / chronological age X 100.
C) the total score on Binet’s test.
D) chronological age X mental age / 100.
12. Lewis Terman made changes to an
earlier test, established new norms and
published it as the first American
intelligence test, called the:
•
•
•
•
A) Binet Intelligence Test.
B) Wechsler Intelligence Scales.
C) Stanford-Binet Intelligence Test.
D) Alpha-Beta Test of Intelligence.
13. Today’s IQ is different from the
original in that:
• A) it is no longer calculated with a
formula.
• B) it is based on the average
performance for each age group.
• C) it is no longer an “intelligence
quotient”.
• D) all of the above.
14. When you took your driver’s test, you
were taking a type of test called a(n):
•
•
•
•
A) achievement test.
B) aptitude test.
C) skill test.
D) self-study test.
15. The Wechsler Scales have the important
advantage over the Stanford-Binet in that the
WAIS offers:
• A) a more accurate measure of g.
• B) several scores other than the
general IQ.
• C) easier administration.
• D) a more reliable instrument.
16. A subject will be administered the
WAIS or the WISC, depending on:
• A) whether or not the subject can
read.
• B) the primary language of the
subject.
• C) the age of the subject.
• D) the training of the administrator.
17. Standardized tests such as the WAIS
follow a bell-shaped pattern of scores
called the:
•
•
•
•
A) average distribution.
B) normal curve.
C) bell scatter.
D) normative spread.
18. Because the WAIS and WISC are
standardized, 68% of the IQ scores
achieved on them are between:
•
•
•
•
A) 95 to 105.
B) 90 to 110.
C) 85 to 115.
D) 80 to 120.
19. When a measurement yields the
same results each time it is used, it has
a high:
•
•
•
•
A) reliability.
B) validity.
C) correlation.
D) respectability.
20. Mental Retardation is defined by
difficulty living independently, and an IQ
of:
•
•
•
•
A) less than 100.
B) 70 or less.

parents.

• A) dissipates over time.
• B) can help disadvantaged
children prepare for school.
• C) has long lasting benefit on
emotional intelligence.
• D) all of the above.
23. The finding that Asian students
significantly outperform North American

• B) Asian students spend much more time
studying math.
• C) American students watch too much TV.
• D) American students have more
important things to do.
24: Girls are inherently better than boys
at all of the following except:
• A) spelling.
• B) mentally dealing with 3
dimensional objects.
• C) learning and remembering words.
• D) finding things.
25. The finding that women scored higher
on math tests when no males were present
gives evidence for the phenomenon of:
•
•
•
•
A) physical attraction.
