D
(A), (C), (E) only

Solution

(A) Intelligence is solely inherited through genetics and cannot be influenced by environmental factors. This is incorrect. Intelligence is influenced by both genetics and environment (e.g., education, nutrition), not solely genetics.

(B) IQ scores are not influenced by the culture in which the test is administered. This is incorrect. IQ tests can be culturally biased, and scores may vary depending on cultural context and familiarity with test content.

(C) Intelligence tests primarily focus on cognitive functions like memory, reasoning, and problem-solving abilities. This is correct. Intelligence tests, such as the Wechsler scales, measure cognitive abilities like memory, reasoning, and problem-solving.

(D) The heritability of intelligence is supported by studies showing high correlation between the IQ of identical twins. This is correct. Twin studies demonstrate a strong genetic component to intelligence, with identical twins showing higher IQ correlations than fraternal twins.

(E) Environmental factors, such as socio-economic status and education, have no impact on intelligence. This is incorrect. Environmental factors, including access to education and socio-economic conditions, significantly influence intelligence development.

Which of the following statements are correct about intelligence and its assessment?

(A) Intelligence is only determined by an individual's genetic makeup.

(B) The concept of IQ includes both mental age and chronological age.

(C) Intelligence tests measure only the academic knowledge of an individual.

D

Solution

(A) Intelligence is only determined by an individual's genetic makeup. This is incorrect. Intelligence is influenced by both genetics and environmental factors, such as education and upbringing, not solely genetics.

(B) The concept of IQ includes both mental age and chronological age. This is correct. IQ (Intelligence Quotient) was originally defined by Alfred Binet as the ratio of mental age (performance level) to chronological age, multiplied by 100.

(C) Intelligence tests measure only the academic knowledge of an individual. This is incorrect. Intelligence tests assess a range of cognitive abilities, including reasoning, problem-solving, and memory, not just academic knowledge.

(D) Binet’s theory of intelligence emphasized general mental ability. This is correct. Alfred Binet focused on a general cognitive ability (often referred to as "g") that underlies various intellectual tasks.

(E) IQ tests provide an exact prediction of a person’s future success in life. This is incorrect. IQ tests measure cognitive potential, but future success depends on many factors, including personality, motivation, and opportunities, making predictions inexact.
Question 4

B
(A), (B), (D) only

C
(B), (D), (E) only

D
(A), (C), (E) only

Solution

(A) Linguistic intelligence involves the ability to perform mathematical calculations. This is incorrect. Linguistic intelligence relates to language skills (e.g., speaking, writing, reading), while mathematical abilities fall under logical-mathematical intelligence.

(B) Musical intelligence includes the ability to use language flexibly. This is incorrect. Musical intelligence involves sensitivity to rhythm, pitch, and sound, not language flexibility, which is tied to linguistic intelligence.

(C) Spatial intelligence is the ability to visualize and manipulate mental images. This is correct. Spatial intelligence, per Gardner, involves skills like mental imagery, navigation, and manipulating objects in space.

(D) People with interpersonal intelligence understand others' emotions and behaviors. This is correct. Interpersonal intelligence is the ability to perceive and respond to others’ feelings, motives, and actions.

(E) Naturalistic intelligence refers to the ability to design complex mathematical systems. This is incorrect. Naturalistic intelligence involves recognizing and categorizing natural phenomena (e.g., plants, animals), not mathematical design, which aligns with logical-mathematical intelligence.
Question 5
5 / -1

Forty-year-old Amit, dealing with existential anxiety about life's meaning, attends sessions where his therapist listens empathetically without judgment and reflects back his feelings to foster self-acceptance. Through this, Amit explores his values and begins pursuing long-delayed creative hobbies, feeling more congruent with his true self. The therapy being used emphasises:

A
Unconscious motivations

B
Behavioural modification

C
Unconditional positive regard

D
Exposure techniques

Solution

Humanistic-existential therapy, particularly the person-centred approach, provides a supportive environment with unconditional positive regard, empathy, and congruence to facilitate self-exploration and personal growth. Amit's experience of non-judgmental listening and reflection enables him to confront existential concerns and align his actions with his authentic self, promoting self-actualisation and meaning-making.
Question 6
5 / -1

Arrange the major factors underlying abnormal behaviour in the sequence given in the diathesis-stress model:

(A) Stressor

(B) Diathesis (vulnerability)

(C) Interaction leading to disorder

A
(A), (B), (C)

B
(B), (A), (C)

C
(C), (B), (A)

D
(B), (C), (A)

Solution

The diathesis-stress model integrates biological and environmental factors in psychopathology. A person first possesses a diathesis or pre-existing vulnerability (genetic or psychological), which then interacts with a stressful life event (stressor), and the interaction precipitates the psychological disorder. This model highlights that neither vulnerability nor stress alone is sufficient; their combination is necessary for abnormality.
Question 7
5 / -1

Twenty-two-year-old Simran is open to new experiences, works cooperatively with colleagues, remains calm under pressure, and consistently completes her tasks responsibly. Simran's personality traits are best described by which combination in the Five-Factor Model?

A
High neuroticism and low conscientiousness

B
High openness, agreeableness, emotional stability, and conscientiousness

C
High extraversion and low agreeableness

D
High psychoticism and low openness

Solution

The Five-Factor Model organises personality into five broad dimensions: openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism (emotional stability). Simran's curiosity, cooperativeness, emotional calm, and responsibility correspond to high openness, high agreeableness, high emotional stability, and high conscientiousness, reflecting an adaptive and integrated personality pattern.
Question 8
5 / -1

Which of the following are the example of specific skills?

A
Communication skills

B
Counselling skills

C
Interviewing skills

D
All of them

Solution

The skills that are needed for a specific job are also known as a skill set. When hiring, employers will usually include the skill set required to be able to perform the job in the job posting. The applicants who most closely match the required skills will have the best chance of getting selected for a job interview.
Question 9
5 / -1

Which of the following coping behaviours are problem-focused?

A
Making efforts to improve one’s performance after a setback

B
Hiding examination results from parents

C
Finding fault with classmates for poor marks in tests

D
Feeling sorry for poor marks in a test

Solution

The correct answer is Making efforts to improve one’s performance after a setback.

Key Points:

Problem-focused coping involves actions to directly address or resolve a stressor.

Option A (improving performance) targets the source of stress (poor performance).

Options B (hiding results) and D (feeling sorry) are avoidance or emotion-focused, while C (blaming others) shifts responsibility rather than solving the problem.
Question 10
5 / -1

Directions For Questions

Directions: Read the given passage and answer the questions:

"Self-esteem is an important aspect of our self. As persons we always make some judgment about our own value or worth. This value judgment of a person about herself/himself is called self-esteem. Some people have high self-esteem, whereas others may have low self-esteem. In order to assess self-esteem we present a variety of statements to a person, and ask her/him to indicate the extent to which those statements are true for her or him. Low self-esteem, especially across multiple areas, can lead to emotional challenges like anxiety or depression in children."

What does self-esteem reflect?

A
A person’s physical appearance.

B
A person’s judgment about their value.

C
A person’s skills and abilities.

D
A person’s level of knowledge.

Solution

(1) A person’s physical appearance: This is incorrect. The passage doesn’t link self-esteem specifically to physical traits.

(2) A person’s judgment about their value: This is correct. The passage explicitly states that self-esteem is a "value judgment" about oneself.

(3) A person’s skills and abilities: This is incorrect. While skills might influence self-esteem, the passage focuses on the broader judgment of worth, not specific abilities.

(4) A person’s level of knowledge: This is incorrect. Knowledge isn’t mentioned as the basis of self-esteem in the passage.
