Your Aging Iq Research Paper

Decent Essays
I received the score 27 out of 27 on “What is Your Aging IQ.” I was surprised that I knew everything on the IQ test. Some questions I was debating on. However, I just picked an answer and got the question right. I had a rationale why I picked the answer based upon my knowledge presented in other classes over my nursing school career. The classes that helped me develop rationales on the answers were med surge, assessment, or older adult. My knowledge and previous experiences with older adults also helped me answer some of the question on the IQ test. Medical surgical nursing mostly helped me answer the questions because we were taught about cancer and other diseases that gave me knowledge to answer the questions presented on the IQ test.

    a) My thoughts to “IQ: History of Deceit,” was nothing really. It was informative and insightful on how the testing for IQ came about. It also showed how IQ has been abused throughout the years from the time of its inception to now and that it has happened in different countries; countries that were considered intelligent and respected for their accomplishments as well. IQ also seems to be effected by the interaction of both genetics and the environment in which one is nurtured and their surrounding stimuli. Now, the idea that IQ is predetermined by genetics is kindly understandable when genetics was first being broken down into what genetics was like in the early 1970s.…

    I believe that the Wonderlic was the best intelligence test in accurately reflecting my cognitive skills because it had better psychometric properties involved, such as a larger adult standardized sample, excellent test-retest reliability, and it best agreed with my two external criterion measures compared to the Shipley-2. I also believe that because I am an older college student, the Wonderlic did a better job of compensating for my age related decline in cognitive processing speed by providing additional points to my score. By completing these intelligence tests, I have gained a greater appreciation for how difficult the creation and administration of these tests can be. More importantly, these test allowed me to see where my strengths and weaknesses are when it comes to my cognitive…
