Review one of the free online “IQ” tests that are on the internet. In your review, you want to include an APA-style citation of the web address or PDF of the “IQ test.” You will do an analysis of the reliability and validity of the “IQ” test if there is information about those factors included on the site, otherwise, you will address the concerns that come with not having any available information on reliability and validity. Then you will pick a theory of intelligence that is the basis for the instrument you found online (e.g. Cattell, Luria, Sternberg, Spearman, etc) and indicate how this measure fits in with that theory or why you believe this theory is the basis for the measure if it is not clearly stated on the site. Finally, you will discuss the ethical issues of the administration and interpretation process of an internet-based IQ/general ability test.
A few tips:
Clearly explain the theory you have chosen and how it applies/does not apply to the test
Specifically reference the APA Code when talking about ethical issues
Other than the online test you chose to examine do not cite online sources, blogs, or websites – use scholarly sources, which includes peer-reviewed journal articles, the textbook, or reference books.
Avoid the use of contractions or casual writing.
Professional writing is very objective, so don’t state your opinions or use “I” in your responses, instead, you would write something like “This paper will provide an analysis of the X IQ test which is found online at XXX” instead of “for this paper, I am going to talk about the X IQ test.”
There are several alleged “IQ” tests from various sites on the internet. Many of these are free to the general public for self-administration and there may be a guide with how to interpret those tests. Typically, they may not be standardized on any population.
In a paper using APA style, students will write a maximum of 5 pages (not including cover page or references) and will address the following:
· Review one online intelligence instrument. Please make sure to include the citation in APA style (web address or pdf).
· Analyze the reliability/validity of the test (if it exists). If there is no apparent reliability, discuss the problems with not having an indicated reliability and validity.
· Identify a particular theory of intelligence that is the base of the instrument chosen (e.g., Cattell, Sternberg, Luria, Spearman, etc.).
· Explain the ethics of the administration and interpretation process of internet-supplied intelligence or general ability tests to the best of your ability.
