| warning: reading this post is a loss of time unless you're rstevenson542. > all standardized test are socially constructed concepts that ATTEMPT a method of measuring intelligence as opposed to ones that don't attempt and have not been constructed by a society? What are we hoping for here, exactly: some ray of light shone upon us by god almighty which will let us know that, without doubt, those men are smart and those other ones are stupid? > The idea that "smarter people... were slightly more vulnerable to common mental mistakes" is a nonsensical conclusion. These findings are completely worthless. > Intelligence (in the real world) reaches far beyond one's abilities to answer multiple choice reading comprehension, basic math and writing. Good thing I'm in La-La-Land, then, so I can answer multiple-choice reading comprehension all day long. > Beethoven would not have gotten a perfect score on his SAT's And you know this because you dug up his skeleton and it wouldn't mark answers? I'm not sure what to make of your assertion. You hadn't quoted any passages from the original study that would display inadequate methodology or statistical error. Your findings are completely worthless. |
