My 0.02:
I'm an educator in higher-ed.
Always aced IQ-type standardized tests.
Over the years I've observed brilliant students who do very poorly in IQ-type tests. But they write brilliant long-form essays.
The world will be fine.

- the_only_law 4y ago> SATs and IQ tests are highly correlated. GP already implied this with IQ-type tests. I’m not sure what you’re arguing with unless there’s a disagreement about brilliant, which in this context GP seems to be different from what IQ measures
- skinnymuch 4y agoWhat relevance do the SATs have? If they’re like the IQ test then that isn’t what makes a student bright, necessarily. As with the essay example.
