You are taking an IQ test that will be used to determine your intelligence level. The first question asks you to identify all of
the equipment you will need to play the game of shoeball. The second question asks the rules of the game. Finally, the third question asks you to explain how shoeball is scored and the number of points you need to win the game. Based on this question, what does the test demonstrate?
a. It accurately measures intelligence.
b. The test should be called a vocational aptitude test.
c. The test is totally unreliable.
d. It has a cultural bias in measuring intelligence.
d. It has a cultural bias in measuring intelligence.

On the other hand, for an intelligence test to be reliable, it has to measure intelligence in a way that the questions are accessible and understandable by people from all cultures and social levels.
In this example, the first three questions of a test that is supposed to measure intelligence asks about the game of shoeball, which is<u> a particular game that is not known in all the cultures or societies</u>. Therefore, <u>people who don't know about that game won't be able to answer right and will score lower in something that doesn't really have to do with intelligence but more with a specific game from a subculture</u>. Therefore, this test has a cultural bias in measuring intelligence.
