Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Profile analysis involves looking at an individual's scores on multiple subtests or sections of a cognitive ability test to identify patterns of strengths and weaknesses. This method can provide more insightful and nuanced interpretations of test results than simply relying on the test's manual or using a single score. The step-by-step method devised by Robert Sternberg and Gardner's multiple intelligences are also approaches to understanding intelligence but are not as widely used or accepted in the field of cognitive assessment.
