It shows almost conclusively that people in the blue states are more likely to have had their kid take a prep course for the SATs or ACTs. Is that a bad thing? Seems pretty smart to me... Jon, must I draw you a picture of everything? The point is that the underlying assumption of the presentation--that SAT scores can be used to predict likely scores on an IQ test-- is flawed. Not only flawed, but denied vehemently by the psychometrists that design such tests. They've even admitted, in recent years, that such exams might be socio-economically biased as well. So much for the this gem of a theory. Max |
