1Which of these are definitions of intelligence?
- ASomething in the head (A property in the brain)
- BA way in which people behave
- CAll abilities and skills (People have different skills)
2Intelligence can be defined as 'Something in the head'. Which of these is true?
- AIt's a property of the brain
- B It is easy to measure & rank.
- CTransmission accuracy (Eysenck)
- DNeural speed (Jenson)
- EAdaptive behaviour of an individual
- FSuccess depends on possession of the appropriate schemas, (Holyoak)
3Intelligence can be defined as 'A way in which people behave', which of these is true?
- ANot an entity within the organism but a quality of behaviour (Anastassi)
- BAdaptive behaviour of an individual (Estes)
- CCan be measured & ranked
- DA property of the brain
- EHard to measure
4Intelligence can be defined as 'All abilities and skills', which of these is true?
- APeople differ in their range of skills & quality of each skill (Anderson)
- BSuccess depends on possession of the appropriate schemas (Holyoak)
- CHard to measure

5The sum for IQ is IQ, AGE = STANDARDIZED INTELLIGENCE/MEAN=100,SD=15
- ATrue
- BFalse
6'G' is the underlying cause of intelligence
- ATrue
- BFalse
7Which of these is a single factor theory?
- ASpearman - Every mental task is determined by G. (Mental energy/power)
Performance = g+s. (Specific (s) is unique to task)
Doesn't predict other tasks - useless for general predictions - BBurt
Developed with statistical techniques
G predicts well (G=sum total of more specific abilities, G - top of hierarchy)
Some tasks need specific abilities
27 primary factors identified (correlated) - CThurstone/Guilford/Gardner
G does not exist - it's not a universal predictor
4 contents/5 operations/ 6 products
7 primary mental abilities
Multiple intelligences
- ASpearman - Every mental task is determined by G. (Mental energy/power)
8Which of these is a hierarchal theory?
- ABurt
Developed with statistical techniques
G predicts well (G=sum total of more specific abilities, G - top of hierarchy)
Some tasks need specific abilities
27 primary factors identified (correlated) - BSpearman - Every mental task is determined by G. (Mental energy/power)
Performance = g+s. (Specific (s) is unique to task)
Doesn't predict other tasks - useless for general predictions - CThurstone
G does not exist
7 primary mental abilities - DThurstone/Guilford/Gardner
G does not exist - it's not a universal predictor
4 contents/5 operations/ 6 products
7 primary mental abilities
Multiple intelligences
- ABurt
9Which of these is a multiple ability theory?
- AThurstone
G does not exist
7 primary mental abilities - BBurt
Developed with statistical techniques
G predicts well (G=sum total of more specific abilities, G - top of hierarchy)
Some tasks need specific abilities
27 primary factors identified (correlated) - CSpearman - Every mental task is determined by G. (Mental energy/power)
Performance = g+s. (Specific (s) is unique to task)
Doesn't predict other tasks - useless for general predictions
- AThurstone
10Which of these is a contextual theory
- ACeci, Howe, Richardson
Numbers provide no worthwhile measure of what people can do
Everyone intelligence in their own context
Performance predicted by knowledge and learning by motivation - BThurstone/Guilford/Gardner
G does not exist - it's not a universal predictor
