Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale is a standardized test that uses a mental age (MA) and chronological age (CA) to determine a child's intelligence quotient (IQ). If a child can't answer as many items correctly as other children of the same age, their MA will be lower than their CA, indicating that they are not performing at the level expected for their age. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because having a CA lower than their MA suggests that the child is performing above their age level. Option C is incorrect because having a MA equal to their CA would mean that the child is performing exactly at the level expected for their age. Option D is incorrect because there is a clear answer in this scenario.
