The Slosson Intelligence Scale is described as a quick cognitive assessment for children and adults and should be used with which populations?

• A. Preschoolers
• B. College students
• C. Children and adults
• D. Elderly individuals

Answer: (C)

The essential idea here is who the Slosson Intelligence Scale is meant to screen. It’s described as a quick cognitive assessment that applies to both children and adults, so it’s designed for a broad age range—from younger learners to adults. This makes it suitable for use in schools and clinics where a rapid snapshot of general cognitive functioning is helpful. It isn’t limited to a single age group like preschoolers, college students, or elderly individuals, but rather targets both children and adults. That’s why describing the populations as “children and adults” best fits the instrument’s intended use.
