Such standardized tests may not assess all the important elements necessary to succeed in school and in life, argues Robert J. Sternberg. In his article “How Intelligent Is Intelligence Testing?", Sternberg notes that traditional tests best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge, components also critical to problem solving and life success. Moreover, IQ tests do not necessarily predict so well once populations or situations change. Research has found that IQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under low-stress conditions, but under high-stress conditions, IQ was negatively correlated with leadership -- that is, it predicted the opposite. Anyone who has toiled through SAT will testify that test-taking skill also matters, whether it’s knowing when to guess or what questions to skip.

　　26. Which of the following may be required in an intelligence test?

　　[A] Answering philosophical questions.

　　[B] Folding or cutting paper into different shapes.

　　[C] Telling the differences between certain concepts.

　　[D] Choosing words or graphs similar to the given ones.

　　[答案] D

　　[解题思路]

　　本题对应于文章第一段的第三句话“IQ tests ask you to complete verbal and visual analogies, to envision paper after it has been folded and cut, and to deduce numerical sequences, among other similar tasks”(智商测试要求你完成一些文字和图像的分析，要求你在纸张被折叠和剪切后想象它的形状，要求你推论数字的顺序，还有其他类似的项目)，显然A和C选项的内容不包括其中，因而是错误选项。B选项的表述与原文“to envision paper after it has been folded and cut”意思相左，也可排除。D选项对应于“to complete verbal and visual analogies”，因而是正确答案。
