This paper presents the results of empirical research conducted on students in the sixth grade of Primary School, misconceptions on concepts of mechanics of Physis, and their mental age. The mental age was determined by the WISC-III psychometric tool that is used to determine the Intelligence Quotient (IQ). The results of this study give a linear relationship between mental age and the number of correct answers given by a student. The meaning of this linear dependence is that the higher the mental age a student has, the more correctly he can perceive some physical phenomena related to concepts of force, weight, energy, work, etc. Also, the influence of the verbal and performance scale on the mental age of WISC-III is discussed in the results.
