Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
(A) Intellectual deficiency — this matches (II) Below IQ score of 70. Intellectual disability refers to below average intellectual functioning, with an IQ of approximately 70 or below, together with deficits in adaptive behaviour.
(B) Intellectually gifted — this matches (III) IQ above 130. The study of the gifted began when Lewis Terman followed about 1500 children with IQs of 130 and above; giftedness is exceptional general ability shown in a wide variety of areas.
(C) Remarkable ability in a specific field — this matches (IV) Talent. Talent is a narrower term than giftedness and refers to remarkable ability in a specific field, such as spiritual, social or aesthetic.
(D) Highly talented — this matches (I) Prodigy. The highly talented are sometimes called ‘prodigies’.

Those with IQ below 70 are suspected to have ‘intellectual disability’, while persons with IQ above 130 are considered to have exceptional talents.…” “Intellectual Giftedness … The study of gifted individuals began in 1925, when Lewis Terman followed the lives of about 1500 children with IQs of 130 and above to examine how intelligence was related to occupational success and life adjustment. Although the terms ‘talent’ and ‘giftedness’ are often used inter changeably, they mean different things. Giftedness is exceptional general ability shown in superior performance in a wide variety of areas. Talent is a narrower term and refers to remarkable ability in a specific field (e.g., spiritual, social, aesthetic, etc.). The highly talented are sometimes called ‘prodigies’.…” |
