  1. 1When Binet began developing intelligence tests in the early 20th century, what was the original purpose of those tests?
    1. ATo identify intelligent soldiers who would make good officers for the French army
    2. BTo identify mentally retarded children, so that they could be taught at a slower pace
    3. CTo identify intellectually gifted children who could be given an advanced education
    4. DTo identify persons who were not mentally competent to testify in French courts
  2. 2As initially proposed, Spearman's "g" factor and Thurstone's set of "primary mental ability" factors were not compatible with one another. Which of the following accurately describes subsequent research findings on this issue?
    1. AThurstone's factors are largely unnecessary because they can be almost fully explained by the g factor
    2. BNo substantial g factor really exists and Thurstone's factors are mutually unrelated aspects of mental ability
    3. CBoth the g factor and the several additional factors are needed, but g is larger and more important than any other factor
    4. DBoth the g factor and the several additional factors are needed, but g is smaller and less important than any other factor
  3. 3Spearman concluded that "g" (i.e., "general intelligence") was best measured by which kinds of mental ability tasks? (In other words, which kinds of tasks had the highest g-loadings?)
    1. AThose that possessed only nonverbal content
    2. BThose that involved inferring (educing) relations among concepts
    3. CThose that depended most on school-related learning
    4. DThose that placed the greatest demands on speed
  4. 4If a person had a level of g that is one standard deviation above the population average, what would be his or her approximate IQ score?
    1. A105
    2. B125
    3. C135
    4. D115
  5. 5For which of the following kinds of mental ability tasks do older adults perform about as well, on average, as young adults do?
    1. AMemory
    2. BPerceptual speed
    3. CVerbal ability
    4. DSpatial ability
  6. 6Which of the following summarizes the results of the investigation by Deary et al. (2004), who compared the mental ability test scores of the same group of persons at age 11 and at age 80?
    1. AScores at age 11 and age 80 were strongly positively correlated, and scores at age 80 were generally lower than scores at age 11
    2. BScores at age 11 and 80 were strongly positively correlated, and scores at age 80 were generally about the same as scores at age 11
    3. CScores at age 11 and 80 were strongly positively correlated, and scores at age 80 were generally higher than scores at age 11.
    4. DScores at age 11 and age 80 were very weakly correlated, and scores at age 80 were generally lower than scores at age 11
  7. 7According to the findings of most research studies, how do common environment influences and genetic influences on mental abilities change between childhood and adulthood?
    1. ABoth kinds of influences remain roughly unchanged (and moderately strong)
    2. BBoth kinds of influences become weaker
    3. CCommon environment influences become stronger, and genetic influences become weaker
    4. DCommon environment influences become weaker, and genetic influences become stronger
  8. 8Which of the following statements about heritable (genetic) influences on IQ is accurate?
    1. AThe heritability of IQ is higher within better environments
    2. BDifferences between generations in average IQ test scores must be due to genetic differences
    3. CThe heritability of IQ is higher within poorer environments
    4. DDifferences between countries in average IQ test scores must be due to genetic differences
  9. 9Which of the following statements about the relations of mental ability tests and academic performance, as observed in previous research is FALSE?
    1. AMental ability tests are more strongly correlated with standardized school achievement tests that with academic performance as rated by teachers
    2. BThe correlation between mental ability tests and school achievement tests is mainly due to the similarity of content (e.g., numbers, words) between the two types of tests
    3. CThe correlation between mental ability tests and academic performance still leaves the considerable room for motivation and effort to influence academic performance
    4. DMental ability test scores are substantially correlated with "how far" one pursues one's education (i.e., final educational attainment)
  10. 10Some investigations of the psychological characteristics of husbands and wives have examined the question of spousal similarity in mental abilities. What results have been obtained in those studies?
    1. AThere is almost no assortative mating either for for verbal comprehension or for nonverbal reasoning ability
    2. BThere is almost no assortative mating either for for verbal comprehension, but considerable assortative nonverbal reasoning ability
    3. CThere is considerable assortative mating for verbal comprehension, but almost no assortative mating for nonverbal reasoning ability
    4. DThere is considerable assortative mating both for verbal comprehension and for nonverbal reasoning ability
