A. Tests that measure the IQs of children are standardized and an average score is recorded for each age group. Thus, a child of 10 years of age who scores the results expected of a child of 12 would have an IQ of 120, calculated as follows: (mentalage / chronological age) 100 = 120. However, because little or no improvement in IQ rating is found in adults, they have to be judged on an IQ test whose average score is 100 and their results graded above and below this norm according to known scores.

Тести, які вимірюють IQ дітей, є стандартними і середня оцінка записується для кожної вікової групи. Таким чином, дитина в 10 років,

оцінки очікуваних результатів дитини 12 буде мати IQ 120,

розраховується наступним чином: (mentalage / хронологічний вік) 100 = 120. Однак, оскільки практично ніяких поліпшень в рейтингу IQ

виявлений у дорослих, вони повинні судити про тест IQ, середня оцінка складає 100, а їх результати оцінюються вище і нижче цієї норми відповідно до відомими балів.

B.During the past 25−30 years IQ testing has been brought into the widespread

use by employers because of their need to ensure that they place the right people in the right job from the outset. One of the main reasons for this in today's world of tight purse strings, cost cutting and low budgets is the high cost of errors in employing the wrong person for a job, including the cost of re-advertising and interviewing new applicants and of reinvestment in training.

За останні 25−30 років IQ тестування була приведена в широке використанняроботодавцями, тому що їх необхідно забезпечити, щоб вони ставлять правильні люди на своєму місці з самого початку. Однією з головних причин цього в сучасному світі жорстокої гаманця, скорочення витрат та низького бюджету є висока вартість помилок при наймі на роботу не ту людину на роботу, втому числі вартість re-advertising та інтерв'ю новий заявників і реінвестування в процесі навчання.
