So students are taught to a particular test, rote memorization, instead of actual learning
If kids are taught specifically to take an IQ test, obviously they're going to do better
Which means that the test itself isn't that valuable a measuring tool
you can't apply rote memorization to an iq test
That's an example
You can be taught how to be good at taking IQ tests, too
Id say that you certainly have failed to demonstrate that culture is separate from race. And that Death in June has used evidence to demonstrate that failure. Also taking IQ tests regularly is not apart of any schools regimen... once again the amount of people that are doing what you suggest is not statistically significant
@UnScottable I don't know what you read back there, but culture is actually significantly different from race
if all you're pointing out is that they're test specific skills associated with iq tests this doesn't really change the fact that in order to solve the problems you still have to be able to apply abstract reasoning to find the patterns present
We were looking at two narrow measures - crime and IQ
you can become better by being more familiar with the kind of puzzle you are facing, but the core skills are still there
Maybe
and in any case with the samples we are using test familiarity is going to be very uniform across the test group
I don't know how you can think that
People are different from each other
yes
Kids put very different levels of effort into different things
but as far as i'm aware the vast majority of people who take iq tests do not prepare specifically for them or have taken them prior at appreciably different rates
They have very different priorities
I'm just pointing out how vague and not useful it is to single out IQ test scores
Yeah, but it clearly has no effect on crime rates, according to the chart you put up there
wat
And if race = culture, then you'd probably have seen a correlation
But it isn't there
i never posted a chart that included the variables of iq and crime
Did you read the same chart we read?
Yeah, you posted a chart that showed the factors that affect crime
And IQ wasn't on there
yes
If IQ is a significant difference between races
Then it would likely be on the chart as well
what do you mean
Since race IS on there, the other things that "go with race" would ostensibly be on the chart as well
in a sense
look... the fact that in america around 7% of the population commit 50% of the rapes... has nothing to do with socioeconomic status
@UnScottable Get fucked, dude
You're out of place here
i need breakfast
Lol what do you mean by that
7% of the population doesn't "commit 50% of the rapes." CRIMINALS commit 50%, and actually 100%, of the rapes
