Solution
Intelligence tests that use language (words or numbers) for measuring intelligence are called verbal tests of intelligence. In these tests subjects are required to respond verbally to test items. Army Alpha Test, Wechsler’s Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), etc. are some of the examples of verbal tests of intelligence.
Disadvantages of verbal tests of intelligence:
- These tests cannot be given to people having different linguistic background, illiterate people and small children.
- These tests are culture bound and therefore cannot be used in other cultures.
