Development quotient
The development quotient , abbreviation EQ , is a parameter for evaluating the level of development in children and small children and relates the level of performance (age of development) to age.
application
An objectification of the intellectual disability takes place, in addition to the intelligence tests, by means of a standardized development test .
The relationship between level of development and age is determined in individual cases using the development quotient (abbreviation EQ; analogous to the intelligence quotient ). First, the developmental age of an individual is determined. The development quotient then results from the formula:
Entwicklungsalter / Lebensalter × 100 = EQ-Wert
The mean value is assumed to be 100. An EQ above 100 means accelerated development ( acceleration ) and an EQ value below 100 means delayed development ( mental retardation ).
