PSY815 Northwest Florida Differences of Constructs of Intelligence and Achievement Discussion

/in /by

I am looking for a 250-word response to 2 questions. Each need at least two scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source included. I have provided 4 resources for Question 1 & 5 for Question 2

Question 1

Distinguish between the constructs of intelligence and achievement in terms of how they are defined and how they are measured. In what ways could these constructs be used to create a theoretical framework for research? Support your answer.

Question 2

What is the most critical issue that a professional should consider when selecting an intelligence testing instrument? Provide your rationale. When responding to this DQ think about the global impact of an IQ measure. Is intelligence a universal concept, or one specifically defined within a culture? Do IQ tests generalize to all nationalities? Why or why not? If not, how can one measure intelligence across cultures, languages, races, etc.?
