Study Notes

Intelligent Testing: Models, Factors, and Influences

Intelligence has been defined in various ways, including the ability to think abstractly, adjust to new situations, and acquire knowledge.
Models of intelligence include the "G" factor (one general intelligence factor), the Primary Abilities model (seven factors), and the CHC model (eight broad abilities).
The CHC model is the most popular and universal model of intelligence, with a hierarchical structure and individual task measurement.
Intelligence can be measured through fluid intelligence (ability to apply knowledge in new situations) and crystallized intelligence (knowledge and learning applied to specific scenarios).
Genetics and environment both play a role in intelligence, with studies showing correlations between monozygotic and dizygotic twins.
Environmental factors that can affect IQ include prenatal and early developmental influences, malnutrition, family background, psychosocial factors, and schooling.
Individual tests provide clinical information on test behavior and motivation, and are essential for young children, brain damaged patients, and intellectually disabled individuals.
Group tests are efficient and economical, but may not cater to individual differences or account for factors such as anxiety.
Group IQ tests can be verbal or non-verbal, measure power or speed, use multiple choice or free recall, and employ multilevel or adaptive computer testing.
Computerized testing has ethical concerns and may miss non-verbal and emotional behaviors that affect test performance.
It is important for clinicians to consider the individual's test results and factors that may have influenced their performance.
Intelligence testing can provide valuable information for clinical assessments, but should be used in conjunction with other measures and considerations.
