Ordering Children's Categories by IQ

To arrange the categories by increasing IQ, we need to understand the typical IQ ranges associated with each:

  • Profound Mental Retardation (D): IQ below 20. This represents the most significant intellectual impairment.
  • Severe Mental Retardation (E): IQ range typically 20-34. Characterized by substantial limitations in functioning.
  • Moderate Mental Retardation (B): IQ range typically 35-49. Individuals may achieve basic self-care skills but require supervision.
  • Mild Mental Retardation (C): IQ range typically 50-69. Individuals can often achieve primary education and may live semi-independently.
  • Slow learners (A): This group generally falls outside the intellectual disability ranges, typically with IQs between 70 and 85 (borderline or low average). They learn at a slower pace than average but are not classified as having intellectual disabilities.

IQ Order Determination

Based on these IQ ranges, the order from lowest IQ to highest IQ is:

  1. Profound Mental Retardation (D) - IQ $< 20$
  2. Severe Mental Retardation (E) - IQ $20-34$
  3. Moderate Mental Retardation (B) - IQ $35-49$
  4. Mild Mental Retardation (C) - IQ $50-69$
  5. Slow learners (A) - IQ $\approx 70-85$

Therefore, the correct order of increasing IQ is D, E, B, C, A.
