Standardized testing doesn't measure the same skills needed to be successful at creative work.

Please don't ever do this.

What does measure that? An interview where someone gauges whether you love Node.js and can spout dogmatic gibberish about MVC?

Sure, that's why every college relies on them for admissions, not to mention everyone taking the GRE / MCAT for grad school.

Are applied sciences grad programs not "creative work" in your mind? Standardized tests statistically predict success within those programs.

Thanks for backing up your claim with a citation to directly relevant research. I wish others in contentious threads could to the same.

More and more colleges are NOT using them for admissions because they predict NOTHING.
