Document Summary
Anthropometrics: refers to the methods of measuring physical and mental variation in humans. This research revealed that people"s abilities on different sensory test were not correlated with each other, or only very weakly. Intelligence: the ability to think, understand, reason, and adapt to or overcome obstacles. Mental age: the average intellectual ability score for children of a specific age. Stanford-binet test: a test intended to measure innate levels of intelligence. Intelligence quotient (iq): a label that is calculated by taking a person"s mental age, dividing it by his chronological age, and then multiplying by 100. One odd feature of both tests is that the data did not make much sense in regards to adults. Deviation iq: is calculated by comparing the person"s test score with the average test score for people of the same age. Wechsler adult intelligence scale (wais): is the most common intelligence test in use today for adolescents and adults.
