Correct Answer - Option 1 :
\(\frac{MA}{CA} \times 100\)
Intelligence Quotient is commonly known as IQ refers to the score of a standardized test that assesses and measures human intelligence.
- The first test to measure intelligence was developed by Binet and Simon in 1905.
-
Terman in 1916 revised the test and devised the concept of Intelligence Quotient.
- An individual’s Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is determined by the formula given below,
\({\bf{Intelligence}}\;{\bf{Quotient}}\;\left( {{\bf{IQ}}} \right) = \frac{{{\bf{Mental}}\;{\bf{Age}}\;\left( {{\bf{MA}}} \right)\;}}{{{\bf{Chronological}}\;{\bf{Age}}\;\left( {{\bf{CA}}} \right)}} \times 100\)
- Where, Mental Age is based on intellectual development.
-
Chronological Age is the number of years a person has lived.
Hence, it could be concluded that IQ can be measured by \(\frac{MA}{CA} \times 100\).
