Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A natural zero is a point at which the quantity being measured is zero, but it does not necessarily mean that there is an absence of the thing being measured. A natural zero on the Fahrenheit scale does not exist as there is no point at which there is an absence of temperature. Similarly, a zero on an IQ test does not indicate an absence of intelligence, but rather a point on the scale at which someone starts from.
