[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't they base admissions on IQ tests taken when applicants are too young to be coached on test taking strategies? Pure intelligence, sort of like how sports used to be, pure athletic talent.[/quote] Because IQ tests are unreliable until about age 8, and by then kids are coachable. And again, does a college just want the kids with the highest IQs? IQ isn't all that well correlated with success. Lots of other factors come in to play, like persistence and social skills, in creating success. IQs don't even measure things like artistic and musical talent.[/quote]
