Question 1

Which of these is one of Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences?&#10;A)poetic&#10;B)naturalistic&#10;C)digital&#10;D)creative

Accepted Answer

Howard Gardner identified nine types of intelligence, one of them being the naturalistic intelligence which involves the ability to understand and connect with nature, and is often found in farmers, naturalists, and environmentalists. The other options in the question are not among Gardner's multiple intelligences.

Accepted Answer

The theory of multiple intelligences was proposed by Howard Gardner.

Question 4

What score indicates how one individual compares to others on an intelligence test?&#10;A)intelligence quotient&#10;B)deviation&#10;C)intelligence component&#10;D)mental estimate

Accepted Answer

An intelligence quotient (IQ) score indicates how an individual's performance on an intelligence test compares to that of others who took the same test.

Question 5

__________ percent of the population has IQ scores between 70 and 130.&#10;A)Sixty-five&#10;B)Seventy-five&#10;C)Eighty-five&#10;D)Ninety-five

Accepted Answer

95% of the population has IQ scores between 70 and 130, as this range represents two standard deviations from the mean in a normal distribution.

Question 6

Ivan is a consultant who has been asked to solve a technical problem for an electronics firm.When he arrives at the firm,he finds that the problem is exactly like a problem he has solved before.The first time he solved the problem it took him 37 hours.This time it takes him 26 hours.The MOST likely reason for his faster solution this time is __________.

A)means-end analysis
B)hill-climbing
C)mental set
D)creating subgoals

Accepted Answer

Ivan's faster solution is likely due to a "mental set," which refers to the tendency to approach problems using a mindset that has worked in the past. Since he has solved a similar problem before, he can apply the same strategies and knowledge, leading to a quicker resolution.

Question 7

A committee has been set up to identify young people who are likely to become great Olympics skaters.In addition to physical skills,the committee believes that an understanding of one's emotions is a plus because it will help the skaters through training and competitions.Using Howard Gardner's types of intelligences,which two should be the focus of their search?

A)bodily kinesthetic and intrapersonal
B)logical/mathematical and visual/spatial
C)visual/spatial and interpersonal
D)verbal/linguistic and logical/mathematical

Accepted Answer

Bodily kinesthetic intelligence is essential for Olympics skaters as it enables them to control their body movements, balance, and coordination. Intrapersonal intelligence is also crucial as it helps skaters to understand and manage their emotions, set goals, and focus on their training. The other intelligence types are not as relevant for this particular skill set.

Question 8

A form of intelligence that refers to how effectively people perceive and understand their own feelings and the feelings of others is __________ intelligence.&#10;A)fluid&#10;B)emotional&#10;C)bodily-kinesthetic&#10;D)crystallized

Accepted Answer

Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to perceive, understand, and regulate one's own emotions and the emotions of others. It involves skills such as empathy, social awareness, and effective communication. This type of intelligence is important for building and maintaining strong relationships and can be cultivated and improved over time through various practices and strategies. Choice A, fluid intelligence, refers to intelligence related to problem-solving and reasoning abilities, while choice C, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, refers to skills related to physical movement and coordination. Choice D, crystallized intelligence, refers to general knowledge and skills acquired through experience and education.

Question 9

A formula is an example of a(n)__________.&#10;A)logarithm&#10;B)algorithm&#10;C)response set&#10;D)heuristic

Accepted Answer

A formula is a specific set of steps or instructions used to solve a problem or complete a task. This is an example of an algorithm, which is a set of instructions designed to perform a specific task or solve a specific problem. The other options (logarithm, response set, heuristic) do not accurately describe a formula.

Question 10

Which of these might be an example of a performance item on the Wechsler tests of intelligence?&#10;A)repeating a series of digits&#10;B)defining a word such as lunch&#10;C)using blocks to make a design like one shown in a picture&#10;D)adding a series of orally presented numbers

Accepted Answer

Performance items on the Wechsler tests of intelligence typically involve non-verbal tasks, such as using blocks to make a design like one shown in a picture. The other answer choices are examples of verbal or auditory tasks.
