| 5192558710 | General Intelligence | A general intelligence factor that according to Spearman and others underlies specific mental abilities and is therefore measured by every task on an intelligence test. | 9 | |
| 5192558711 | Factor Analysis | A statistical procedure that identifies clusters of related items (called factors) on a test; used to identify different dimensions of performance that underlie one's total score. | 10 | |
| 5192558712 | Savant Syndrome | A condition in which a person otherwise limited in mental ability has an exceptional specific skill, such as in computation or drawing | 11 | |

| 5192558714 | Gardner's Eight Intelligences | 1. Linguistic-sensitivity to meaning and order of words. 2. Logical mathematical- the ability in mathematics and other complex logical systems 3. Spatial- The ability to "think in pictures" to perceive the visual world accurately, and recreate it in the mind or on paper. 4. Musical- the ability to understand and create music 5. Bodily-Kinesthetic- the ability to use one's body in a skilled way, for self-expression or toward a goal. 6. The ability to perceive and understand other individuals mood, desires, motivations 7.

| 5192558719 | Stanford Binet test | Emphasizes verbal and mathematical skills. It is the measure of mental age divided by chronological age times 100. | 18 | |
| 5192558720 | Intelligence Quotient | a measure of a person's intelligence as indicated by an intelligence test | 19 | |
| 5192558721 | Aptitude tests | A test designed to predict a person's future performance; aptitude is the capacity to learn. | 20 | |
| 5192558722 | Achievement tests | A test designed to assess what a person has learned | 21 | |
| 5192558723 | Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale | the WAIS is the most widely used intelligence test; contains verbal and performance (nonverbal) subtests | 22 | |
| 5192558724 | Standardization | Defining meaningful scores by comparison with the performance of a pretested group. | 23 | |
| 5192558725 | Normal Curve | the symmetrical bell-shaped curve that describes the distribution of many physical and psychological attributes. Most scores fall near the average, and fewer and fewer scores lie near the extremes. | 24 | |
| 5192558726 | Flynn Effect | The rise in average IQ scores that has occurred over the decades in many nations | 25 | |
| 5192558727 | Reliability | Ability of a test to yield very similar scores for the same individual over repeated testings | 26 | |
| 5192558728 | Validity | Actually measuring exactly what you intend to measure | 27 | |
| 5192558729 | Content Validity | the extent to which a test samples the behavior that is of interest | 28 | |
| 5192558730 | Predictive Validity | The success with which a test predicts the behavior it is designed to predict; it is assessed by computing the correlation between test scores and the criterion behavior. | 29 | |
