most people with intellectual disabilities ______.
o are savants who demonstrate a single, exceptional ability
o have a fixed intelligence
o experience mild impairment and become self - supporting
o have a genetic abnormality, such as down syndrome

Explanation:

For the first question, validity refers to whether a test measures what it is supposed to measure. Mark was in the top 2% (not the top 10% as the company's hiring criteria) but still performed well (got the top - sales prize). This shows the assessment tool may not be measuring sales skills accurately (lacks validity). Subjectivity is about personal judgment, reliability is about consistency of results, and standardization is about uniform testing procedures. For the second question, most people with intellectual disabilities experience mild impairment and can become self - supporting. Savants are rare, fixed intelligence is not a correct general statement, and while some have genetic abnormalities like Down syndrome, it's not the case for most.

Answer:

First question: validity. Second question: experience mild impairment and become self - supporting.
