Intelligence Quotient | defined originally as the ratio of mental age(ma) to chronological age (ca) multiplied by 100 (thus, IQ = ma/ca × 100). On contemporary intelligence tests, the average performance for a given age is assigned a score of 100. KW: MA/CA x 100 | |

Content Validity | the extent to which a test samples the behavior that is of interest. KW: Test samples the behavior | |
Predictive Validity | the success with which a test predicts the behavior it is designed to predict; it is assessed by computing the correlation between test scores and the criterion behavior. KW: computing correlation | |
Mental Retardation | a condition of limited mental ability, indicated by an intelligence score of 70 or below and difficulty in adapting to the demands of life;varies from mild to profound. KW: below 70 | |
