Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intelligence testing involves comparing an individual's score on a standardized test with the scores of others who have taken the same test. This allows for a relative measure of intelligence rather than an independent one. Additionally, psychometrics is an integral part of creating and administering intelligence tests, making choice D incorrect. Finally, while there may be some variability in scores for the same individual over time, choice C is an exaggeration and not generally true for well-designed intelligence tests.
