Critique of Intelligence Construct · CDP

A valid critique of intelligence tests is that performance can be affected by test anxiety, which:

  1. Improves concentration and sharpens focus during the test session itself
  2. Has no effect on scores
  3. Artificially lowers the test-taker's performance
  4. Increases intrinsic motivation
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Artificially lowers the test-taker's performance

High anxiety can impair cognitive processing and reduce performance. This means scores may reflect stress levels rather than true ability.
