It isn't
need I bring up the termites again?
What
termites?
Lewis Terman
It's what I described earlier
fuck you and your termites
He was a eugenicist
So he...
lobbied for the government to make all schools in california give kids IQ tests
they did so, he picked the top [x]%
and called them his termites
Predicting they'd do great things
Ultimately, they turned out relatively average, slightly above average at best
while many of those skipped went on to achieve greater things
You have said literally nothing of any value
all you have is the one specific example
I mean
that's the one I'm familiar with
No, hold on, I'm reading something about this that gives a different account of this person's story
so I want to before I see if I'm wrong
and there are a plethora of graphs and decades of research to back up our ARGUMENT?
@SilverLining I've literally just read three different articles that give a completely different story
what a joke
literally fuck off
The test subjects on average had higher incomes than their peers
What was the sample size of these termites?
iirc, all state schools in california
I might be wrong, though... haven't read up on it much since about a year ago
and (((California)))
but yeah
the study itself concluded a lack of a correlation
there were some successes, but like, with a large enough group, that's to be expected
and likewise, there were plenty of successes outside of the group
I hope your state fucking decides to split and then gets fucked
I hope it splits too
I think there was a Nobel prize winner or two, in addition to a SC justice
don't quote me on that, though
thank god for the wildfires
