What phrase is commonly used to describe an individual's mental age compared to their physical age?

  1. Cognitive capacity

  2. Reaction time

  3. Intelligence Quotient

  4. Emotional Quotient

The correct answer is: Intelligence Quotient

Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is commonly used to describe an individual's mental age compared to their physical age. Cognitive capacity refers to an individual's overall ability to think, perceive, and reason. Reaction time measures the amount of time it takes for an individual to respond to a stimulus. Emotional Quotient (EQ) measures an individual's emotional intelligence and ability to perceive, understand, and manage emotions. While all of these factors can contribute to one's overall functioning, IQ specifically focuses on cognitive abilities and is often used to assess intellectual development and potential.
