thusly:


To take an anecdotal example, my daughter attended an elementary school
where the minimum criterion for admission was a very high IQ score,
regardless of the parents' wealth. She then attended a private prep

school
where the parents' money was at least a significant admission factor for
many students and the average IQ was much lower. The two groups were just
about on a par in their college records of both admissions and

performance.

Yep, one group had brains, the other a work ethic passed from their
successful parents.


So how does this support your contention that SAT/ACT scores correlate with
IQ????? Two groups with disparate IQ averages, and both scored roughly the
same on the tests. Did the significance of this escape you?
