misuse of tests and to the misinterpretation of test scores. To demonstrate how sophisticated concepts and methodologies can be presented at a simple level, Anastasi discusses her own ways of teaching such topics as standard deviation, factor analysis, and item response theory. She explores major concepts relevant to test evaluation, test construction, and psychometrics. Anastasi next moves in for a closer look at item analysis
relationship between intelligence and personality, the individual attributes that could facilitate or compromise intelligence, and how intelligence manifests in different kinds of people. Assessment, on the other hand, is all about developing and refining tests that measure intelligence. Today, psychologists are increasingly becoming involved in these two areas. Some utilize assessments to gain more insight about the individuality of intelligence, while others draw from individual cases to develop and refine
INTRODUCTION: Intelligence and creativity are two chief mental abilities that largely influence the performances and accomplishments of individuals. Intelligence is considered as the “capability to act purposefully, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with the environment”, whereas creativity is regarded as the “ability to generate novel and useful ideas” (Neisser et al., 1996; Sternberg & Lubart, 1999; Wechsler, 1944).The relationship between intelligence and creativity is not fully recognized
intelligence test? Intelligence test also known as psychological test which function as to measure the result of mental functions. Reasoning, comprehension and judgment are the examples of intelligence test. How can measure the different intelligence and levels of intelligences? The IQ (intelligence quotient) test is a standard test which is measuring human intelligence in different part. The IQ score shows the strengths and weaknesses of an individual in different parts. The first intelligence test was developed
As early as 1962, Maslow posited a psychological hierarchy in which the need for belonging took precedence over needs for knowledge and understanding. According to Slavin (1981), students who worked together liked school more than students who were not allowed to do so. They were more likely to say that they wanted their classmates to do well in school and that they felt their classmates also wanted them to do well. By participating in social-climate setting activities, both students and teachers
teachers would find it easier to teach them. A student with good spatial ability and of good mathematical skill is more likely to do well in other subjects as well in schools. (Denny, 2002) Furthermore it can also be said that those students of good IQ, are better in problem solving. If they are good at problem solving, their capacity to face different type’s tasks would be more. Means they are more able to cope with the changes in the surrounding environment. As a result those students are more socialized
LITERATURE REVIEW IQ An intelligence quotient (IQ) is a standardized test designed to assess some kind of human intelligence scores. The abbreviation "IQ" was coined by the German psychologist William Stern Intelligenz- long-term business, his tenure as a method of intelligence test scores, he advocated in the 1912 book (Stern, 1914). When developing the current IQ test, the average raw scores leveled sample is defined as IQ 100 and the score for each standard deviation (SD) up or down is defined
Most people considers Intelligent Quotient (IQ) as an important factor to succeed in their career as professionals, while on the other hand, Emotional Intelligence (EI) are sometimes neglected. Intelligent quotient is usually inborn while Emotional Intelligence can be developed in an individual. Some people are not aware of the importance and benefits of being emotionally stable and its contribution to their success as an individual. As a person, success depends on how one handles their own emotion
aims to present the arguments regarding the possibility of psychological tests to be culture free or culture bound. Psychological tests are based on norms and the normative sample consist only a thin slice of human population. This leads to several cultural biases in testing. Thus, continuous attempts have been made by many researchers to construct culture-fair tests while many other believe that construction of such a test is almost impossible because it is very difficult to account all the cultural
