Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most commonly used method for comparing IQ scores of different age groups is to compute deviation IQ scores. This involves comparing an individual's score to the average score for their age group, rather than comparing raw scores. The deviation IQ is commonly used instead of ratio IQ, which can be misleading when comparing scores across different age groups. The Stanford-Binet and WAIS-IV are specific IQ tests, and not methods of computing scores for comparison purposes.
