1According to Spearman’s two-factor theory, what does the general factor (g) represent?
A.Only musical and bodily-kinaesthetic talents measured by special tests
B.A single broad intellectual capacity that influences performance across many mental tasks
C.The temporary effect of practice on one specific school subject
D.A cultural preference for verbal over non-verbal problem solving
Explanation: Spearman proposed that a general intellectual factor (g) contributes to performance on a wide range of cognitive tasks, alongside more specific (s) factors.
2Which statement best matches Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences?
A.Intelligence is only what traditional IQ tests measure in a single score
B.People can show relatively independent strengths such as linguistic, spatial, or interpersonal intelligence
C.All abilities reduce to one hierarchical g factor with no special domains
D.Intelligence develops only after formal college education
Explanation: Gardner argued that intelligence is plural—several relatively independent intelligences (for example linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinaesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist) rather than one global score only.
3In Sternberg’s triarchic theory, analytical intelligence is best illustrated by which school task?
A.Inventing a new way to market a school fair with limited resources
B.Reading social cues to resolve a conflict between classmates
C.Memorising a phone number for a few seconds only
D.Comparing two theories and evaluating which evidence is stronger in an exam essay
Explanation: Analytical intelligence involves analysing, evaluating, and comparing information—skills typical of academic problem solving and critical essay work in Sternberg’s framework.
4Practical intelligence in Sternberg’s theory mainly concerns the ability to:
A.Apply knowledge effectively to everyday environments and real-life demands
B.Solve novel problems by generating many original ideas for their own sake
C.Score high only on abstract matrix reasoning items
D.Ignore cultural context when solving school problems
Explanation: Practical intelligence is the capacity to adapt to, shape, or select everyday environments—using knowledge effectively in real situations (sometimes called ‘street smarts’ in textbook language).
5IQ is classically computed as mental age divided by chronological age, multiplied by 100. What does a score of about 100 typically indicate?
A.Severe intellectual disability
B.That the person has no specific abilities
C.Performance roughly matching age peers on the test’s norms
D.Guaranteed success in every academic subject
Explanation: An IQ near 100 means mental age approximates chronological age on the test’s norms—average performance relative to the comparison group, not a guarantee of life success.
6A psychological test is said to be reliable when it:
A.Measures what it claims to measure in a theoretically meaningful way
B.Is popular among teachers regardless of score stability
C.Yields consistent scores across repeated administrations or equivalent forms under similar conditions
D.Always produces different scores for the same person each day
Explanation: Reliability concerns consistency and stability of measurement. Validity concerns whether the test measures the intended construct. A test can be reliable without being valid, but cannot be valid if unreliable.
7Aptitude is best described as:
A.A person’s potential to acquire skill or knowledge in a particular area with training
B.What a person has already learned in a specific subject after training
C.Only the number of years spent in school
D.A temporary mood that raises exam marks
Explanation: Aptitude refers to potential for learning or performance in a domain (for example musical or mechanical aptitude), whereas achievement reflects what has already been learned.
8Emotional intelligence, as discussed in NCERT Class 12 Psychology, primarily involves:
A.Only solving algebraic equations quickly
B.Ignoring all emotional cues to stay purely rational
C.Perceiving, understanding, managing, and using emotions effectively in oneself and others
D.Memorising dictionaries of feeling words without application
Explanation: Emotional intelligence (EQ) involves abilities such as perceiving emotions accurately, understanding emotional meanings, regulating emotions, and using emotions to facilitate thinking and social functioning.
9Culture-fair intelligence tests attempt mainly to:
A.Reduce bias from language and culture-specific knowledge so that scores better reflect ability across groups
B.Favour only urban English-medium students
C.Eliminate all individual differences in scores
D.Replace personality tests entirely
Explanation: Culture-fair (or culture-reduced) tests minimise reliance on culturally loaded content and language so that comparisons across cultural groups are less biased—though no test is completely culture-free.
10Creativity is most accurately related to intelligence in Class 12 textbook terms as:
A.Identical to IQ; every high-IQ person is equally creative
B.Completely unrelated to any intellectual ability
C.Only the ability to copy existing products perfectly
D.Related but distinct: a certain level of intelligence may be necessary, yet high creativity also needs originality and divergent thinking
Explanation: Textbooks typically treat creativity and intelligence as related but not identical. Intelligence may support creative work up to a point, but creativity emphasises originality, fluency, flexibility, and elaboration beyond convergent IQ-type answers.
