Question

Coleman is currently 30 years old. He took the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and was told that his score was 110. If the test is __________, when Coleman retakes the same intelligence test again at age 50 his score will likely still be 110.

Answer 1

Reliable

Step-by-step explanation:

Reliable simply means something someone can rely or depend on.

Reliable can also means something that can be trusted in which someone can always count on when ever we need it because we believe that we won't be disappointed. Anything that is not reliable is definitely unreliable just as in the case of Coleman, the Adult Intelligence Scale he did at 30 years of age was 110 then if it is reliable the one he took at age 50 should as well be 110. In a case where the figure did not corresponds then it is unreliable meaning it can't be trusted.

Answer 2

If the test is reliable, when Coleman retakes the same test at age 50 his score will likely still be 110.

Step-by-step explanation:

A test counts as reliable when it's consistent about measuring a certain characteristic. This means that if the individual takes the same test multiple times, he/she will likely get the same score as he/she did the first time.

In this case, if the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale test is reliable, Coleman will get the same score (110) when he is 50.
