D
Feedback:
Standard IQ tests are good predictors of academic achievement. Although these tests are widely used to determine degrees of intellectual impairment, they are known to have certain limitations. They are not known to determine success in life. They do not indicate other types of intelligence, such as persistence, self-confidence, or motivation. These tests also cannot predict work productivity.
