In paragraph 6, what evidence does the author use to rebut the idea that IQ tests are not valid? Answer choices for the above question

A. the fact that people who do well on verbal tests are unlikely to do well on math tests

B. the fact that the various types of intelligence measured by IQ tests tend to correlate well

C. the fact that IQ tests measure a variety of different types of intelligence

D. the fact that people have different types of intelligence and are good at different things

PARAGRAPH 6

There are many varieties of tests, but amazingly, results on most of those tests correlate very well. For example, a test-taker who performs well in a verbal test is likely to perform well on a spatial or memory test. A test-taker who performs poorly on a spatial test is likely to perform poorly on a memory or verbal test. So even though people may say, “Oh, IQ tests are not valid because people have different intelligences and are good at different things,” it seems clear that even if you believe that you are visually intelligent and do best on non-verbal tests, the odds are good that if you do well on those, you will also succeed on other forms of tests. If you take one of the many standard IQ tests, you will find that it includes a variety of types of tests whose scores are put together to make up your IQ score. So not only are you given a test that examines multiple intelligences, but you are also given a test whose various components correlate well.

"for the love of god, montresor! " "yes," i said, "for the love of god!
