Correct Answer - Option 2 : Group tests

Intelligence tests can be defined as a test to evaluate the general level of cognitive functions and intellectual ability.

  • During World War II in 1917, a committee of the American Psychological Association prescribed the use of intelligence tests for the rapid classification of army personnel. 
  • In view of this, American Army psychologists developed two tests: (i) Army Alpha and (ii) Army Beta.
  • Both the tests were group tests in which the first was a language test, while the second was a non-language-performance test. 

Army Alpha Test
  • In which the first was a language test, while the second was a non-language-performance test. 
  • These are primarily designed for mass testing that is, they can be administered to more than one individual at a time.
  • tIt was a written test made of true/false and multiple-choice questions that assessed the ability to follow directions, arithmetic, and analogy.
  • They are economical and time-saving. 
Army Beta Test
  • The Army Beta is a non-verbal intelligence test developed shortly after the United States entered World War I by an American Psychological Association (APA) Committee on the Psychological Examination of Recruits.

 Personality is all that a person is. It is the totality of one’s behavior towards one’s own self as well as others. It includes everything about the person, his/her physical, emotional, social, mental, and spiritual make-up. 

  • The personality measurements are the tests that are designed to evaluate a person's interests, attitudes, a pattern of thought, etc. while giving responses to ambiguous test materials.
