Detailed explanation-1: -Instead of calculating an intelligence quotient, most current intelligence tests represent the test-taker’s performance relative to the: average performance of others the same age as the test-taker. The eugenics movement would have been most likely to encourage: selective breeding of highly intelligent people.
Detailed explanation-2: -Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale – Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) The WAIS-IV is the most commonly used test of intelligence for persons aged 16 through 75 years, and may be the intelligence test chosen if your child is a teenager above the age of 15.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first IQ tests The German psychologist William Stern (1871-1938) introduced the idea of intelligence quotient, or IQ. This entailed a formula for mental age that could be assessed by a test, such as the one devised by Binet, divided by chronological age, multiplied by 100.
Detailed explanation-4: -Each task is scored and the set of scores is converted into an overall standardized IQ score. IQ scores are created so that a score of 100 represents the average IQ of the population and the standard deviation (or average variability) of scores is 15.
Detailed explanation-5: -The most widely used intelligence tests include the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale and the Wechsler scales. The Stanford-Binet is the American adaptation of the original French Binet-Simon intelligence test; it was first introduced in 1916 by Lewis Terman, a psychologist at Stanford University.
