Answer to Question 1

Intelligence tests are most related to scholastic success. The items on contemporary intelligence tests most closely resemble the type of tasks that children are required to be able to do in school. Generally, children who perform poorly on these tests have difficulty in school. Intelligence tests are not good predictors of job success, marital happiness, or life happiness. The purpose of intelligence tests is to help educators and psychologists predict the future academic success of students.
