Two years ago sean took an intelligence test and earned a score of 99. recently he took the same test and earned a score of 102. yet at school sean earns straight-a grades, and his teachers consider him to be an outstanding student. given what you've learned about intelligence tests and iq scores, choose the most likely explanation for the apparent discrepancy between sean's iq score and school performance.

a. sean probably gets support for academic achievement from family and friends and is motivated to do well at school.

b. school grades are notoriously poor measures of school achievement; sean's iq scores are better indicators of what he has learned at school.

c. sean must have been feeling poorly both times that he took the test, because iq scores are generally very accurate predictors of children's school grades.

d. intelligence tests and school grades measure such different abilities that the discrepancy does not require any explanation.

It is widely assumed that people need to engage in intellectual activities such as solving crossword puzzles or mathematics problems in order to maintain mental sharpness as they age. in fact, however, simply talking to other people—that is, participating in social interaction, which engages many mental and perceptual skills—suffices. evidence to this effect comes from a study showing that the more social contact people report, the better their mental skills. which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the force of the evidence cited? (a) as people grow older, they are often advised to keep exercising their physical and mental capacities in order to maintain or improve them. (b) many medical conditions and treatments that adversely affect a person's mental sharpness also tend to increase that person's social isolation. (c) many people are proficient both in social interactions and in solving mathematical problems. (d) the study did not itself collect data but analyzed data bearing on the issue from prior studies. (e) the tasks evaluating mental sharpness for which data were compiled by the study were more akin to mathematics problems than to conversation.
