Q1Match the test or scale with its most appropriate description: 1. Army Alpha 2. Army Beta 3. Raven's Progressive Matrices 4. Wechsler scales

A 1-verbal group test, 2-non-verbal group test for non-readers, 3-culture-fair non-verbal reasoning test, 4-verbal and performance parts
B 1-non-verbal group test, 2-verbal group test, 3-individual verbal test, 4-performance-only scale
C 1-individual age scale, 2-deviation IQ scale, 3-verbal vocabulary test, 4-ratio IQ formula
D 1-culture-fair matrices, 2-Stanford revision, 3-verbal group test, 4-mental-age ratio only
Explanation

Army Alpha was a verbal group test, while Army Beta was a non-verbal group test suited to non-readers. Raven's Progressive Matrices is a non-verbal, largely culture-fair reasoning test, and Wechsler's scales yield verbal and performance scores.

Q2Consider the following statements about Thurstone's Primary Mental Abilities. Which combination is correct? 1. Thurstone rejected the idea that intelligence can be reduced to one single general factor. 2. Verbal comprehension, number, space and reasoning are included among the Primary Mental Abilities. 3. Operations, contents and products are the three dimensions of Thurstone's model.

A 1 and 3 only
B 1 and 2 only
C 2 and 3 only
D 1, 2 and 3
Explanation

Thurstone argued against reducing intelligence to a single general factor and proposed seven Primary Mental Abilities, including verbal comprehension, number, space and reasoning. Operations, contents and products are Guilford's dimensions, so that statement fails.

Q3Which statement correctly links the earliest practical intelligence scale with the later Stanford revision?

A Binet and Simon prepared the first practical intelligence scale in 1905, and Terman's Stanford-Binet revision introduced the IQ score in the United States.
B Binet and Simon introduced deviation IQ in 1905, and Terman later replaced it with mental-age testing.
C Terman and Wechsler jointly prepared the first practical scale in 1905, while Binet later coined IQ.
D Army Alpha was the first practical intelligence scale of 1905, and Stanford-Binet was a non-verbal group test.
Explanation

Binet and Simon's 1905 scale is treated as the first practical intelligence scale for identifying children needing special help. Terman's Stanford-Binet revision in the United States used the IQ score, while deviation IQ belongs to Wechsler and group tests such as Army Alpha are a different classification.

Q4Consider the following two statements about social and interpersonal intelligence. Statement I: Thorndike's social intelligence refers to dealing effectively with people and relationships. Statement II: Gardner's interpersonal intelligence is simply Thorndike's term under a different name, so the two theories make the same classification. Which option is correct?

A Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
B Statement I is correct, but Statement II is incorrect.
C Statement I is incorrect, but Statement II is correct.
D Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
Explanation

Thorndike's social intelligence is one of his three kinds of intelligence and refers to dealing with people and relationships. Gardner's interpersonal intelligence is part of the multiple intelligences theory, so treating it as merely the same term in another theory is the classic confusion.

Q5Match the intelligence account with its defining feature.

A Spearman - seven primary abilities; Thurstone - 120 abilities; Guilford - general and specific factors
B Spearman - 120 abilities; Thurstone - general and specific factors; Guilford - seven primary abilities
C Spearman - general and specific factors; Thurstone - seven Primary Mental Abilities; Guilford - operations, contents and products
D Spearman - operations, contents and products; Thurstone - general and specific factors; Guilford - verbal-educational group factor
Explanation

Spearman is identified with general and specific factors, Thurstone with seven Primary Mental Abilities and Guilford with the three SOI dimensions of operations, contents and products. The distractors shift features across theorists, especially confusing Guilford with Spearman or Vernon.

6Consider the following statements about Gardner and Goleman. 1. Gardner's multiple intelligences include linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligences, with naturalist added later. 2. Goleman's five components of emotional intelligence include self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skill. Which statement is correct?

AOnly statement 1
BOnly statement 2
CBoth statements 1 and 2
DNeither statement 1 nor statement 2

7Match Sternberg's triarchic sub-theories with their usual intelligence labels. 1. Componential 2. Experiential 3. Contextual

A1-Creative, 2-Practical, 3-Analytical
B1-Analytical, 2-Creative, 3-Practical
C1-Practical, 2-Analytical, 3-Creative
D1-Mechanical, 2-Social, 3-Abstract

8Which pairing correctly represents Cattell's distinction between fluid and crystallized intelligence?

AFluid intelligence is innate, relatively culture-free reasoning; crystallized intelligence is knowledge and skills acquired through experience and schooling.
BFluid intelligence is school-taught vocabulary; crystallized intelligence is non-verbal innate reasoning.
CFluid intelligence is social handling of people; crystallized intelligence is mechanical skill with tools.
DFluid intelligence is verbal comprehension; crystallized intelligence is perceptual speed.

9Which statement best represents Spearman's two-factor theory of intelligence?

AEvery mental task involves a general factor common to all tasks and a specific factor peculiar to that task.
BIntelligence consists of seven relatively independent primary mental abilities with no common factor.
CIntellectual abilities are produced by combining operations, contents and products into 120 cells.
DIntelligence is best divided into verbal-educational and practical-mechanical-spatial group factors below a top general factor.

10Assertion: Intelligence is treated as a hypothetical construct in educational psychology. Reason: It is inferred from patterns of behaviour and test performance rather than observed directly like a physical object. Choose the correct option.

ABoth Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason correctly explains the Assertion.
BBoth Assertion and Reason are true, but the Reason does not explain the Assertion.
CThe Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.
DThe Assertion is false, but the Reason is true.

11Two statements are given below. Statement I: Spearman's two-factor theory allows both a common factor across mental tasks and specific factors tied to individual tasks. Statement II: Thurstone's Primary Mental Abilities theory accepts the same single general factor as the sufficient explanation of intelligence. Choose the correct answer.

AStatement I is true, but Statement II is false.
BStatement I is false, but Statement II is true.
CBoth Statement I and Statement II are true.
DBoth Statement I and Statement II are false.

12In Vernon's hierarchical model of intelligence, which statement correctly gives the level immediately below the general factor?

ASeven Primary Mental Abilities: verbal comprehension, word fluency, number, space, memory, perceptual speed and reasoning
BComponential, experiential and contextual intelligences
CVerbal-educational and practical-mechanical-spatial major group factors
DOperations, contents and products

13Match Thorndike's kinds of intelligence with their correct sphere of use.

AAbstract intelligence - people; concrete intelligence - symbols; social intelligence - tools
BAbstract intelligence - tools; concrete intelligence - people; social intelligence - ideas
CAbstract intelligence - ideas and symbols; concrete intelligence - objects and tools; social intelligence - people and relationships
DAbstract intelligence - emotions; concrete intelligence - moral judgement; social intelligence - abstract reasoning

ACapacity to adapt to new situations
BCapacity to learn from experience
CCapacity for abstract reasoning
DCapacity to display only inherited reflex actions without learning or reasoning

15Which statement about Wechsler's intelligence scales is incorrect?

AThey include adult, child and preschool versions.
BThey provide verbal and performance scores.
CThey are built around deviation IQ rather than Stern's mental-age ratio.
DThey were the first practical intelligence scale prepared in 1905 to identify children needing special help.
