Document Summary

A: if all intelligent abilities depend on a single underlying factor, then anything that impaired that factor (some type of brain damage, for example) would impair all the intelligent abilities. For analogy, an injury that impairs running would also impair jumping. However, if intelligent abilities correlate because they usually grow together, we can imagine something that impairs one ability much more than others as in the case of. A: turing"s solution reflected fluid intelligence, a generalized ability that could apply to any topic. A: we would need to determine whether ability at each kind of intelligence correlates highly with the others. A: the wechsler tests provide separate scores for different tasks and therefore identify someone"s strengths and weaknesses. A: a standardized test has clear rules for administering the test, and previous studies have established the norms to which a new score can be compared. To say that a test is (cid:498)reliable(cid:499) is simply to say that its scores are repeatable.
