    Q6​. Explain the variations in intellectual ability of mentally challenged and


    intellectually gifted children. (2009)(4 marks)
    A6​. On one hand are the gifted and creative persons we discussed briefly earlier.
    On the other hand, there are children who face enormous difficulty in learning even
    very simple skills. Those children who show intellectual deficiency are termed as
    ‘mentally challenged’ or ‘mentally retarded’. As a group, there is wide variation
    among the mentally deficient or retarded. The American Association on Mental
    Deficiency (AAMD) views mental retardation as “ significantly sub-average
    general intellectual functioning existing concurrently with deficits in adaptive
    behaviour and manifested during the developmental period”. This definition points
    to three basic features. First, in order to be judged as mentally retarded, a person
    must show significantly sub-average intellectual functioning. Persons having IQs
    below 70 are judged to have sub-average intelligence. The second relates to
    deficits in adaptive behaviour. Adaptive behaviour refers to a person’s capacity to
    be independent and deal effectively with one’s environment. The third feature is
    that the deficits must be observed during the developmental period, that is between
    0 and 18 years of age.

    A9​. Emotional intelligence is a set of skills that underlie accurate appraisal,
    expression and regulation of emotions. It is the feeling side of intelligence.
    i. Emotional Quotient (EQ) is used to express emotional intelligence in the
    same way as IQ is used to express intelligence.
    ii. Salovey and Mayer: The ability to monitor one’s own and other’s emotions,
    to discriminate among them and to use the information to guide one’s
    thinking and actions.

    Q10​. What is creativity? Explain how it is related to intelligence with examples. (4


    marks)
    A10​. Creativity is the ability to produce ideas, objects, or problems solutions that
    are novel, appropriate and useful. Creativity is interrelated to intelligence in the
    following ways:
    i. Intelligence is a subset of creativity.
    ii. Terman found that people with higher IQ were not always creative. The
    same time people who had creative ideas were never identified as gifted
    throughout their life they Eventually became well known for creativity in a
    certain field.
    iii. Various researchers have found that both higher and lower levels of
    creativity can be found in highly intelligent children as well as children with
    average all lower intelligence. The same person can be creative as well as
    intelligent but it is not necessary that intelligent people must be creative.
