3. Intelligence tests are influenced by stereotypes and expectation

Explanation:

Stereotype is false belief about an individual or group based on biased information about that person or group. From the above, children perform better if they're told their tests aren't school related because their expectation or stereotype as it regards school could get in the way and majorly influence how they perceive and therefore treat their task (test).
