Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

If a child who is 10 years old has a mental age 12, the child’s IQ would be?

A	100
B	80
C	140
D	120

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -IQ was originally computed by taking the ratio of mental age to chronological (physical) age and multiplying by 100. Thus, if a 10-year-old child had a mental age of 12 (that is, performed on the test at the level of an average 12-year-old), the child was assigned an IQ of 12/10 × 100, or 120.

Detailed explanation-2: -1 Answer. The MA = 12 of a 10-year-old boy who has an IQ of 120.

Detailed explanation-3: -The average IQ score for a 12-year-old is between 77 and 135, with an overall average score of 112.

Detailed explanation-4: -An IQ score of 120 is a good score since it means superior or above-average intelligence. A score of 100 is said to be the average IQ and anything above that is above average intelligence for the person’s age.
