Which of the following is NOT an intelligence test?

WAIS
Stanford-Binet
MMPI-II
Ravens Progressive Matrices

The correct answer is: MMPI-II

The MMPI-II, or Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Second Edition, is primarily a psychological assessment tool used to evaluate a person’s personality traits and psychopathology rather than measuring cognitive abilities or IQ. It is designed to assess mental health issues and personality structure, which distinguishes it from standard intelligence tests. In contrast, the WAIS (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale), Stanford-Binet, and Ravens Progressive Matrices are all recognized intelligence tests. The WAIS and Stanford-Binet are traditional measures of cognitive ability, assessing a range of skills including verbal comprehension, working memory, and perceptual reasoning. The Ravens Progressive Matrices specifically evaluate abstract reasoning and is often used to assess fluid intelligence, which is a key component of overall intelligence. Thus, the correct answer identifies the MMPI-II as the test that does not assess intelligence, highlighting the difference between personality evaluation and cognitive assessments.
