Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies show that there is a positive correlation between IQ and academic success, with a correlation coefficient of around +.50. This suggests that as IQ scores increase, so do grades and academic accomplishments. Option B may also be true, but it does not contradict option D, and option D more accurately represents the relationship between IQ and academic success as reflected in the research. Options A and C are false since studies have shown a positive relationship between IQ and academic success, not a negative or no correlation.
