Read the scenario below and answer the question that follows. Since the first mental age tests were administered in 1904, there have been several versions of intelligence tests. The most widely used test today is the Wechsler Intelligence Scale. Why did David Wechsler design the Wechsler Intelligence Scale?
Answer
A
He didn't feel that the other tests adequately measured intelligence levels in adults.
B
He felt that knowing someone's mental age was important.
C
He needed a formula for comparing mental age to chronological age.
D
He wanted to know how someone was going to do in school.
Explanation
David Wechsler designed his intelligence scale because he believed existing tests did not measure adult intelligence adequately. Unlike tests focused on children and mental age, his scale was intended to assess intelligence in adults as well. Therefore, the correct choice is “He didn't feel that the other tests adequately measured intelligence levels in adults.”
