Question
IQ (10Q x 2 = 20 marks.)1. Which number should come next in the series?1, 3,6,10, 15,(A) 8(B) 21(C) 24(D) 272. Not wanting to come across as -------, the award-winning biologist ------- her manyimpressive accomplishments as she addressed the team of scientists.(A) egotistical. …. downplayed(B) experienced ………explored(C) celebrated ……….highlighted(D) arrogant …….evoked3. Which one of the five choices makes the best comparison?PEACH is to HCAEP as 46251 is to:(A) 15264(B) 12654(C) 26451(D) 51462
Solution
-
The series is increasing by adding the next integer. 1+2=3, 3+3=6, 6+4=10, 10+5=15. So, the next number should be 15+6=21. Therefore, the answer is (B) 21.
-
The sentence is about a biologist who is trying not to appear too self-important while talking about her achievements. The word that best fits the first blank is 'egotistical', which means self-centered or vain. The word that best fits the second blank is 'downplayed', which means to make something seem less important or less serious than it actually is. Therefore, the answer is (A) egotistical...downplayed.
-
The comparison is about reversing the order. PEACH becomes HCAEP when reversed. Similarly, 46251 becomes 15264 when reversed. Therefore, the answer is (A) 15264.

5.Multiple Intelligences
Part B.We tend to prize intelligence very highly, especially the kind of logical reasoning ability that is used a lot in QM1 and that can be measured using IQ tests. IQ tests are designed so that scores across the general public are normally distributed with mean 100 and standard deviation 15.(If you feel like trying a simple informal IQ test, just Google "online IQ test" and take your pick!)Suppose you score 115 on an IQ test. Where does that place your intelligence relative to the general public? Specifically:(a) what proportion of the population would be below 115?(b) what proportion of the population would be above 115?The ultimate in IQ is MarvinLinks to an external site. , who has "a brain the size of a planet". His IQ is astronomical, but for our purposes let's say it is 146. Where is Marvin's IQ placed relative to the general population.(Clearly Marvin is not very happy. In fact he spends a lot of time feeling very depressed. His astronomical IQ is not enough to make him happy.)Research has suggested that IQ alone may not be sufficient for a happy successful life. Angela Duckworth has led research suggesting that "grit" may be as important as IQ! Grit is "perseverance and passion in the pursuit of long term goals" and, as part of the research, a "grit scale" was developed.(You can meet Angela Duckworth hereLinks to an external site.... about 6 minutes, not necessary for the tutorial, but you may find it interesting. You can estimate your own grit hereLinks to an external site..)Grit scores are continuous between 0 and 5, with higher scores indicating greater grittiness. The percentiles of the distribution in the general population are given in the following table.Percentile Male Female10 2.51 2.5120 2.83 2.8830 3.06 3.1340 3.25 3.2550 3.38 3.5060 3.54 3.6370 3.75 3.7980 3.92 4.0090 4.21 4.25100 5.00 5.00(a) What are the median grit scores for males and females?(b) If Marvin is the ultimate in IQ, then the ultimate in grit is RickLinks to an external site.... he is never going to give you up! Rick scored 4.21 on the grit scale. Where does this place his grittiness relative to the general population?
