Question

instructions read the question carefully and select the best answer. based on the passage below, the point author most likely believes that ________. so even though people may say, “oh, iq tests are not valid because people have different intelligences and are good at different things,” it seems clear that if you believe that you are visually intelligent and do best on non - verbal tests, the odds are good that if you do well on those, you will also succeed on other forms of tests. if you take one of the many standard iq tests, you will find that it includes a variety of types of tests whose scores are put together to make up your iq score. so not only are you given a test that examines multiple intelligences, but you are also given a test whose various components correlate well. a iq test results are not an accurate reflection of one’s intelligence. b visual intelligence is more common than verbal intelligence. c iq tests are easily cheated if you know what to look for. d iq tests are a perfectly valid measure of intelligence.

Explanation:

The passage argues that people have multiple intelligences, and standard IQ tests combine scores from various test types, while also noting that non-verbal test performance correlates with other skills. This directly supports the idea that IQ tests do not fully capture all aspects of a person's intelligence, making them an inaccurate single reflection of intelligence. The other options are not supported: the passage does not compare the commonness of visual vs verbal intelligence, mention cheating, or claim IQ tests are perfectly valid.

Answer:

A. IQ test results are not an accurate reflection of one's intelligence.
