◦ life stress; happiness
◦ morbidity; mortality

Question 2
A researcher establishes a new test of intelligence and establishes the test norms by administering the test to students at the university where he works. Other researchers and clinicians begin using the new test to measure intelligence in a variety of groups including evaluating dementia patients, screening children for gifted programs, and making job selection decisions. What is one potential problem with the use of this new intelligence test?
◦ The new intelligence test is being adopted too quickly by different professionals.
◦ Intelligence tests are not appropriate for use in these groups.
◦ It is not appropriate to adopt a new form of a test when there are well-established tests already available.
◦ The test was not normed on a sample that is representative of the groups that are being tested.
