You are working in the student placement office when Dr. Heath comes to find a student research assistant. She tells you that she needs a really creative student to assist with the design of her latest project. She asks if the student files show each student's IQ score, because she wants to use that information to make her decision. Based on what is known about creativity and intelligence, you
should: a. tell Dr. Heath that a student's grade point average will provide a more accurate measure of his or her creativity b. pull the files for all students with IQ scores greater than 130, because there is a strong positive correlation between IQ score and level of creativity c. explain that IQ scores and creativity actually have a negative correlation, so she should avoid hiring a student with a high IQ score d. tell Dr. Heath that creativity is only weakly related to intelligence, and IQ score cannot be used to accurately predict a student's overall level of creativity
Winawer and colleagues (2007) presented English and Russian speakers with a blue sample stimulus. They also were shown two blue comparison stimuli. One comparison stimulus matched the shade of the sample stimulus, and one comparison stimulus was of a different shade. Participants were asked to identify which of the two comparison stimuli matched the sample stimulus. This research found that:
A) Russian speakers took longer than did English speakers to make this determination when one comparison stimulus was dark blue and the other comparison stimulus was light blue. B) English speakers took longer than did Russian speakers to make this determination when one comparison stimulus was dark blue and the other comparison stimulus was light blue. C) Russian speakers took longer than did English speakers to make this determination when all three stimuli were shades of light blue. D) English speakers took longer than did Russian speakers to make this determination when all three stimuli were shades of light blue.
