group intelligence tests were misused shortly after world war i. specifically, group intelligence tests were inappropriately administered to:
people in mental institutions.

all children enrolled in public schools.
politicians running for elective office.

Explanation:

Analyze driving simulator scenario

The first question describes a scenario where reminding women of a negative stereotype ("females are bad drivers") leads to a decrease in their driving performance (being more than twice as likely to run over pedestrians). This phenomenon, where awareness of a negative stereotype about one's social group leads to performance that confirms the stereotype, is known as stereotype threat.

Analyze Sternberg's intelligence components

The second question (labeled 9) asks which option is not considered a component of Robert Sternberg's theory of successful intelligence. Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence proposes three distinct components:

1. Analytical intelligence (problem-solving abilities)
2. Creative intelligence (ability to deal with novel situations)
3. Practical intelligence (ability to adapt to everyday life)

Interpersonal intelligence is a component of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences theory, not Sternberg's theory. We can connect this to our understanding of General Intelligence models.

Analyze historical misuse of group intelligence tests

The third question (labeled 10) asks about the misuse of group intelligence tests shortly after World War I. Historically, early intelligence tests (such as translated versions of the Binet-Simon scale or Army Alpha/Beta tests) were inappropriately administered to newly arriving immigrants at US ports of entry (like Ellis Island). Because these tests were culturally biased and administered in English to non-English speakers, they were misused to label large proportions of immigrants as "feeble-minded."
