Answer :
On an intelligence test providing a single score, it's the Stanford-Binet, whereas a test offering separate scores for different cognitive abilities is the WAIS.
Piper is taking an intelligence test that provides a single score, while Taylor is taking a test that has separate scores for four different categories of questions. Piper's test is the Stanford-Binet, and Taylor's is the WAIS.
The Stanford-Binet test was standardized and normed but was more focused on verbal skills, resulting in a single intelligence quotient (IQ) score. On the other hand, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) was designed by psychologist David Wechsler as a response to critiques of the Stanford-Binet, particularly its heavy reliance on verbal ability and the use of a single score to represent intelligence. The WAIS provides separate scores across different cognitive domains such as memory, computation, language understanding, reasoning, and information processing, offering a broader assessment of an individual's intellectual abilities.
Answer:
B) Stanford-Binet; WAIS
Explanation:
WAIS stands for Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale.
Both Stanford-Binet as well as WAIS test are similar but they differ in the type of measurements. They are use to test an individual's intelligence.
The Stanford-Binet test have four different sections as a pattern. They are verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, abstract reasoning and short-term memory test. The scores of all this sections are added and is given as a single score known as the general score.
Whereas the WAIS measures and tests the different capacities and then provides scores for each section or capacity.
Thus in the context, Piper is taking the Stanford-Binet test while Taylor is taking up WAIS test.
Hence the answer is -- option (B)
