Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, a subject whose mental and chronological ages are identical has an IQ of 100, or average intelligence.
Detailed explanation-2: -a numerical scale unit derived by dividing an individual’s results in an intelligence test by the average score for other people of the same age. Thus, a 4-year-old child who scored 150 on an IQ test would have a mental age of 6 (the age-appropriate average score is 100; therefore, MA = (150/100) × 4 = 6).
Detailed explanation-3: -The IQ (intelligence quotient) is found by dividing the mental age (MA), as indicated on standard tests, by the chronological age (CA) and multiplying by 100. For example, if a child has a mental age of 12 and a chronological age of 8, the calculated IQ is 150.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hence, the required mental age for a group of 12-year children is 9.6 years or more and 16.8 years or less. where MA is mental age and CA is chronological age.
