within the topic of "2 IQ points dont mean anything", I'm correct
with sufficiently large sample size
>And, presuming it exists, is incredibly minor - not even a standard deviation. At that level, it would have no effect
Also, uh
it is statistically significant
cultural bias exists
within the test
'n' shit
even if it's 2 points
so
cultural bias
all the search for cultural bias
has found next to nothing
Plus it just arbitrarily... was created
Like
Pattern recognition isn't the be all end all of intelligence, y'know?
give me a psychometric that is taken more objectively by psychologists
But like
even the...
Vocabulary may be biased
everything you're saying amount to "this test isn't perfect"
we already know that
More
we're arguing that it's the best test we have, even if ti's not that great
"The test is complete garbage and fails to account for a large number of things"
Just look at gardner's multiple intelligences
or... any number of other proposed metrics
IQ is only around because it was the first and enjoyed brief popularity among eugenics movements
is the test complete garbage when I consider differences of 20 points? or population differences?
Basically, what you're saying amounts to
"No, the test is completely okay and reasonable, any issues don't matter because it exists"
no, my agument is that if IQ tests go, so does all of psychometrics
So...
Because a single test
created over a century ago
iq was found to correlate with greater success, albeit not perfectly @Alice Redacted
By someone lobbying for eugenics
it's the best psychometric test
Isn't accurate
Dismissing it as "garbage and only liked because it was popular" is just stupid
