Detailed explanation-1: -Expert-Verified Answer. A disadvantage of using Alfred Binet’s concept of mental age in assessing intelligence is that it is inappropriate for adults. Hence, option (A) can be considered as relevant.
Detailed explanation-2: -Occasionally, a low score can be the result of a lack of cooperation on the part of the child. It is also a difficult test, and has been criticized for being too insensitive to age. Because of some of these reliability issues, the Stanford-Binet test can be readministered after six months.
Detailed explanation-3: -Limitations of the Binet-Simon IQ Test For example, Binet did not believe that his psychometric instruments could be used to measure a single, permanent, and inborn level of intelligence. Instead, he suggested that intelligence is far too broad a concept to quantify with one number.
Detailed explanation-4: -While Binet’s original intent was to use the test to identify children who needed additional academic assistance, the test soon became a means to identify those deemed “feeble-minded” by the eugenics movement.
