Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)
(A) Global capacity to understand the world, think rationally and use available resources effectively when faced with challenges — this matches (II) Intelligence. This is the definition of intelligence; intelligence tests give a global measure of a person’s general cognitive competence.
(B) Individual’s underlying potential for acquiring skills — this matches (III) Aptitude. Aptitude tests predict what a person will be able to do if given proper environment and training, as a person with high mechanical aptitude can do well as an engineer.
(C) Individual’s preference for engaging in one or more specific activities relative to others — this matches (IV) Interest. Knowing a student’s interests helps decide which subjects or courses she/he can pursue with pleasure.
(D) Enduring beliefs about an ideal mode of behaviour — this matches (I) Values. A person who holds a value sets a standard for guiding her/his own actions and for judging others.
