What is the formula to calculate ones I.Q?
Well, it’s not quite as easy as you might think, unless you are a psychologist. What psyhologists do when they wish to calculate one’s I.Q is this: 1. First they make tests with a great variety of questions, depending on the age of the person they’re testing. Ex. If they’re testing a 10-year old, they’ll compile questions that would be suitable for a nine-year-old, ten, and eleven-year-old. 2. So, after the test’s been done, they examine it and see which questions are answered. Let’s say that the 10 y.o. boy has answered all the questions for the nine y.olds and all of the questions suitable for his age, but he has not answered even one of the “11-year olds” questions. Then we can say that his mental age is equal to his caldendar age, which is shown in the formula: I.Q.= MA / CA x 100 MA – mental age CA – caldendar age So, in our example, I.Q. = 10 / 10 x 100 I.Q = 100 If the 10 y.o.boy had solved all the eleven-year old questions, I.Q. = 11 / 10 x 100 I.Q = 110 Anyway, like I said bef
