Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A deviation IQ is a way of standardizing a person's raw score on a mental test by comparing their performance to the average performance of others in their age group. The resulting score is a measure of the person's relative standing in the group, with a score of 100 indicating average performance and higher scores indicating above-average performance. Therefore, choice D is the correct choice as it reflects the relative standing based on mental test performance.
